Lindsey M. Westerfield Arrest Details
Lindsey M. Westerfield Arrested. “On Tuesday, Prosecutors charged 30-year-old Lindsey M. Westerfield, a teacher at Cascade Christian High School until summer 2019, with three counts of first-degree sexual misconduct with a minor, according to court documents. While one reported incident occurred prior to the victim’s 18th birthday, state law also prohibits sexual conduct between students under 21 and school employees who are at least five years older. The investigation of Westerfield that began in 2019 was stalled for years without a full account from the student victim. Following Westerfield’s firing from the Washington State Charter School Commission this summer, the student victim changed his mind about cooperating with police.” [News Tribune]
