Teacher Acquitted After Autism Allegations | Wilmington News
Description
A former elementary school teacher, Brittany Kosch, was acquitted after being accused of assaulting two kindergartners—one with autism—during her tenure at Anderson Elementary. The judge ruled there wasn’t enough evidence to convict her beyond a reasonable doubt, dismissing one charge and dropping the other entirely. Kosch, who had taught for eight years, testified she was heartbroken by the accusations and resigned to protect her students, now working as a babysitter and tutor. Families who hire her praised her character. Prosecutors cited a delayed report and the child’s inability to testify, but defense attorneys highlighted inconsistencies in the reporting. The verdict likely preserves her teaching license, while the child’s mother urged others to report misconduct immediately.
