Substitute teacher imprisoned 10-15 years for inappropriately touching kids

OAKLAND COUNTY, MICHIGAN, JUL 8 – Timothy Daugherty was convicted on six counts of second-degree criminal sexual conduct involving victims aged 10 and younger, receiving a 10-15 year prison sentence.

  • Timothy Daugherty, a 61-year-old former substitute teacher from Oakland County, received a prison term of 10 to 15 years on Tuesday after being found guilty of sexually assaulting girls between the ages of 9 and 11 at Spring Mills Elementary School.
  • The investigation into the offenses began in April 2024 after victims came forward, leading to Daugherty’s suspension and his subsequent September indictment on multiple charges related to second-degree criminal sexual misconduct.
  • Judge Yasmine Poles condemned Daugherty’s predatory actions and lack of remorse, sentencing him to adhere to sex offender registration, undergo HIV and other STI screenings as well as DNA collection, maintain a strict no-contact order with his victims, and wear an electronic GPS device indefinitely upon release on parole.
  • Huron Valley Schools prioritized student safety in a statement, while attorney Ven Johnson, representing 11 victim families, called the sentencing an important step toward accountability despite the harm caused.
  • The sentencing highlights accountability for abuse within schools and may reinforce protective measures against predator teachers to safeguard students and support victims.
