LEBANON — A band teacher at Lebanon High School has been placed on administrative leave after he was arrested on preliminary charges of attempted child seduction.
Friday afternoon, Lebanon police arrested 39-year-old Brian J. Boyer. A statement from the police department states police responded to a call Friday morning and were told two people at the administration building want to file a complaint on a teacher at the school.
They said they were at the school posing as an underage girl, and said Boyer had inappropriate conversations with them through an app.
A Lebanon Community School Corporation statement says Boyer had been employed as a band teacher since July 2019.
