Fired by his school district following arrest, prosecutors allege he threatened the victim and their family if reported, and possessed firearms, raising flight risk concerns. Police hint at more victims and charges as they dig deeper, seizing evidence and seeking digital records. The school claims unawareness until his arrest, though police say a complaint was filed months earlier. Dunaway, hired in 2021, has prior allegations in Florida and Georgia, though no formal charges were filed. He’s barred from contacting minors under 19, with a preliminary hearing set for June 10. He remains presumed innocent. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
