New Hope-Solebury Teacher Charged With Sexual Abuse Of Student

NEW HOPE, PA — A teacher from New Hope-Solebury High School has been charged with sexually abusing a student 14 years ago.

Kevin A. Elvey II, 41, of Yardley, was arraigned Wednesday on a first-degree misdemeanor count of corruption of minors and released on unsecured bail set by District Judge Michael W. Petrucci at $50,000.

According to the Bucks County District Attorney, the abuse occurred during the spring of 2005, when the 17-year-old victim was a senior at the high school.

The victim told authorities the sexual acts took place at Elvey’s home "on multiple occasions," the DA said.

Elvey has been suspended from his position at the high school since June.

The District Attorney’s Office believes additional victims could exist in this case, and asks that anyone with information contact Bucks County Detective David Hanks at 215-348-6344.

“If you have been victimized by this man, we have the resources to help you,” Bucks County District Attorney Matthew D. Weintraub said. “Whether you were a victim or have information about other victims, please do not hesitate to call.”
