Former Amazon "teacher of the year" in Lynn, Massachusetts charged with child rape
Tran was one of 10 teachers to receive Amazon’s award in 2022 and was later released to home confinement with GPS monitoring.
- On Wednesday, former teacher Tymond Tran pleaded not guilty in Essex Superior Court to charges including aggravated rape of a child with a 5-year age difference and distributing obscene matter to a minor.
- Prosecutors allege the crimes occurred during the 2022-2023 school year while Tran taught at Thurgood Marshall Middle School in Lynn, where Amazon previously named him one of 10 "dynamic teachers."
- Judge John Fraser ordered Tran to remain on GPS monitoring and under 24/7 house arrest at an Attleboro address, with no unsupervised contact with anyone under 18.
- Lowell Community Charter Public School "immediately terminated" Tran last month after learning of the charges, while Lynn Mayor Jared Nicholson and Superintendent of Schools Molly Cohen issued a joint statement pledging cooperation.
- Tran will return to Essex Superior Court on August 26 for a pretrial conference, as officials continue an independent investigation into conduct that occurred before his Lowell employment.
