Case against former PikeView High School teacher heading to grand jury

The next stop for the case against a former PikeView High School teacher accused of sexual misconduct with students is in front of the grand jury.

Jonathan Kirk, 34, waived his preliminary hearing in Mercer County Magistrate Court Monday morning.

Kirk, who turned himself in last Monday to State Police, is charged with sexual abuse. He is also accused of using minors to film sexually explicit conduct and using obscene matter with intent to seduce a minor.

The allegations against Kirk involve multiple female students at PikeView High.

Kirk was serving as a physical education teacher and an assistant coach at the school at the time of the alleged incidents.
