According to the Rockingham County Sheriff’s Office, on July 1, 2025, The Rockingham County School Administration notified the Rockingham County Sheriff’s Office of a possible inappropriate relationship between a faculty member and a female juvenile student that resided in the county. On July 9, the Rockingham County Sheriff’s Office, in conjunction with the Rockingham County District Attorney’s Office, issued charges on Kenneth Jaray Butchee.
