A former Kenosha teacher and Waterford pastor who was scheduled to appear in Racine County Circuit Court last week was instead transported to Kenosha County where he is also charged with having sex with a student.
Douglas A. Richmond, 41, of Burlington, was scheduled for a preliminary hearing in Racine County on May 18 on charges of sexual assault of a child by a person who works or volunteers with children and sexual assault of a student by school staff. Instead, Richmond was taken to Kenosha County where he is charged with sexual assault of a student by school staff.
He made an initial appearance in Kenosha County on May 18 where $2,500 cash bond was set and Richmond was ordered to have no contact with a 24-year-old woman or her residence or employment or any girls younger than 18 years old or their residences.
His preliminary hearing in Racine County was rescheduled for June 1.
In the Kenosha County case, Richmond is charged with having sexual intercourse with a student he taught at Kenosha Tremper High School between October 2009 and June 2010, when the girl was 17 years old and Richmond was her physics teacher and 34 years old.
One of the Racine County charges stems from the incidents that occurred in Burlington.
The second Racine County charge stems from an encounter with a second girl – a student of Richmond’s at Indian Trail High School in Kenosha. The now 21-year-old girl said she had sex with Richmond on “probably” two occasions in 2009 or 2010 when she was 14 or 15 years old – once at his home on State Street in Burlington while his wife was out of town, according to the complaint.
Richmond was last employed as a pastor at Fox River Christian Church in Waterford in the music and information technology departments.
See next week’s editions of the Waterford Post and Burlington Standard Press for the full details from the criminal complaints against Richmond.
