Henderson told police he had a two-year relationship with a student at Parkview High School, beginning when she was 16 and in his geometry class.

His indictment said the student performed a sex act on Henderson at school multiple times and he asked her to send him explicit photos.

The victim’s parents said in written impact statements that she was bullied and threatened after Henderson’s May arrest.
