James Guttridge
Arrested by Woodstock Police Detective Spitzen almost a month ago, Woodstock North High School Physical Education instructor and wrestling coach James B. Guttridge has now been indicted by the McHenry County State’s Attorney.
The Rockford resident, born November 10, 1973, faces three counts of Aggravated Criminal Sexual Abuse and one count of Criminal Sexual Assault.
And, as the statement at the bottom of the press release says,
“THE CHARGES AGAINST THE ABOVE-LISTED DEFENDANTS ARE MERELY ALLEGATIONS AGAINST THEM. THE DEFENDANTS ARE PRESUMED INNOCENT OF ANY CRIME UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY IN COURT.”
Meanwhile, District 200’s Ellyn Wrzeski reports,
“Mr. Guttridge is no longer employed by District 200.
“He has resigned and voluntarily surrendered his teaching certificates to ISBE.”
He resigned on Valentine’s Day.
The McHenry County Sheriff’s Dept. continues, so far as most believe, to pay Sgt. Greg Pyle.
Why can’t it figure out how to stop that $9,000/month check?
Will Pyle be indicted?
What happened on Jan. 6 that caused police action on assaults that allegedly occurred over four years, 2006-2010?
