High school counselor arrested and charged for inappropriate relationship with student – ​​KIRO 7 News Seattle

Detweiler is charged with communicating with a minor for immoral purposes, second degree lewdness with a minor and furnishing alcoholic beverages to a minor.

Charging documents outline Detweiler’s alleged relationship with the student, starting as her counselor before it turned romantic in mid-March. The documents detail messages Detweiler allegedly sent that read “I could kiss you forever” and “I want to hold you until our bodies become one.”

The 17-year-old student told law enforcement that Detweiler gave him a key to his apartment, which he visited several times.

On one occasion, she claims Detweiler “told her that if she ever left him, he would kill himself with a gun.” She says he then started serving her “several glasses of red wine” and “got really ‘wise’.”

She reported the relationship to the school district on May 22. Detweiler was placed on leave that same day.

“Lake Washington School District takes student protection very seriously,” said Dr. Jon Holmen, Superintendent. “We will not be making any further comment at this time out of respect for student confidentiality and the integrity of the investigative process. The health, safety and well-being of students remain LWSD’s primary concern throughout this process. LWSD will continue to take appropriate action to meet this goal.”

Detweiler will be extradited back to Washington. His first court appearance is scheduled for June 13.
