Oakland County Substitute Teacher Faces Charges for Criminal Sexual Conduct

In Oakland County, a man named Timothy Allen Daugherty, a 61-year-old substitute teacher from White Lake, has been hit with six serious charges. He is being charged with six counts of second degree criminal sexual conduct after allegations arose involving his inappropriate sexual behavior with minor students.

Around late August, Daugherty was charged following several incidents alleged to have taken place within Highland Township, where he was then employed as a substitute teacher. After these allegations were made public in April, Daugherty was swiftly suspended from his duties.

The accused was later arraigned in the 52-1 District Court, which determined a bond amounting to a whopping $75,000 cash or surety along with a 10% condition. Following his probable release, Daugherty would be expected to wear a GPS tether to monitor his movements.

A probable cause conference has been lined up for September 18 at 10 a.m., then a preliminary examination is set for a week later, on September 25 at 1:30 p.m.

The gravity of these charges against Daugherty, coupled with the severity of the implications surrounding them, has resulted in a call for anyone with more information to come forward. The Oakland County Sheriff’s Office Highland Township Substation can be reached at 248-887-6240, or information can be conveyed anonymously through Crime Stoppers at 1-800-Speak Up

Right now, curiosity and concern are brewing among the county’s residents as the case progresses. This issue undeniably shines a light on the importance of keeping our children and students safe, and maintaining a vigilant eye to ensure the trust placed in those responsible for their care is not abused or mishandled.
