MASON COUNTY, Wash. — A former Shelton High School counselor is facing multiple charges after an investigation into numerous sexual assault allegations led to his arrest.

Mason County Sheriff's Office (MCSO) has been investigating the counselor for two months after a previously missing 15-year-old girl was found a mile away from her home and in the company of said counselor. Deputies interviewed the counselor and the student the evening the girl was found. Police note that their contact was suspicious, but no probable cause could be established to prove a crime occurred.

The Shelton School District immediately placed the counselor on administrative leave after being contacted by the MCSO and he is no longer employed by the district.
