FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — Longtime educator Basil Farrington bonded out of the Broward County jail on Monday as he faces six child sexual battery charges.
The 47-year-old didn’t say a word.
Farrington is accused of sexually assaulting a student while working at Boyd H. Anderson High School in Lauderdale Lakes, where he taught math from 2000 to 2015.
Authorities allege that the assaults took place from 2011 to 2013 while Farrington was the boy’s teacher.
Farrington later moved to Whiddon Rogers Education Center in Fort Lauderdale and then became a grant facilitator with the district.
Broward Sheriff’s Office deputies working out of Lauderdale Lakes arrested him on Monday, jail records showed.
After he posted his $150,000 bond Wednesday, he was picked up by a woman who also had nothing to say.
Officials said previously that Farrington “will be reassigned by the District pending the outcome of the case.”
Authorities have not yet said whether they suspect that Farrington may have victimized any other students or children.
