Dresher Man, Teacher Pleads Guilty To Sexual Assault Of Student

MONTGOMERY COUNTY, PA — A Montgomery County man and Catholic school teacher has pleaded guilty in court this week after carrying on an inappropriate relationship with a student.

Jeremiah Triplett, 30, who teaches music at Radnor's Archbishop Carroll High School, had been charged with institutional sexual assault, court documents show.

Police said they were first tipped off about a possible inappropriate relationship between Triplett and an underage girl in the school back on March 26.

Triplett, a resident of Dresher, gave plastic bags of marijuana-infuse brownies, shopping bags full of mini-liquor bottles, and more to the girl and another juvenile, acording police.

He also vaped nicotine products with the teens, blowing smoke into the girl's mouth, kissing her, grabbing her buttocks, and telling her he "couldn't wait until she was 18," authorities allege.

Sentencing is forthcoming on Nov. 18.
