A male teacher who was named Minnesota’s “Teacher of the Year” has been charged with grooming and raping a female student over a year-long period when she was 14 years old.
Abdul Jameel Wright, 38, was 30 when he allegedly began committing sexual acts with a then 14-year-old girl in his English class at Harvest Best Academy in Minneapolis.
He has been charged with one felony count of first-degree criminal sexual conduct with a minor aged 13 to 15 while in a position of authority. The sexual assaults allegedly began in September 2016, just four months after Wright was awarded Teacher of the Year.
