A former middle school teacher accused of kissing a student and sending her romantic text messages turned himself in following additional charges after another student has come forward.
Cole McLaughlin, 23, was charged last month with corruption of minors after police said he admitted to kissing a 12-year-old girl that he had in class at South Allegheny Middle School.

An additional corruption charge and a charge of institutional sexual assault related to an incident involving a different student have now been added.
The new charges were brought on by a 17-year-old female student who said McLaughlin approached her and then proceeded to grope her in a classroom.
County detectives were told by the girl that McLaughlin also showed her inappropriate photos of himself.
McLaughlin taught social studies and coached soccer before his arrest.
