Charges were filed May 15 in King County Superior Court against Stuart MacGregor Hoffman, a 28-year-old teacher at a Bellevue School District high school. The document alleges Hoffman committed two counts of first-degree child rape, two counts of first-degree child molestation, and dealing and possessing depictions of a minor engaged in sexually explicit conduct. Hoffman was arrested by Homeland Security Investigations and the investigation is ongoing.
A press release from the agency said Hoffman is expected to face both local and federal charges. Prosecutors asked that bail be set at $1 million.
Anyone with information about this case are urged to contact the Homeland Security Investigations Seattle Field Office at 206-442-2295.
