A teacher is supposed to have your child’s best interest at heart and educate them properly.
However, 30-year old Brandon Holbrook, a substitute teacher in St. Louis, was arrested after he raped a 14-year old student.
Recently authorities have confirmed that while Holbrook was in jail, he was discovered dead in his cell on Monday.
Authorities said, “A guard doing his daily rounds noticed Holbrook was unresponsive in his cell. He was transported to a nearby hospital, where they pronounced him deceased.”
Holbrook was found unresponsive while in an upright position, and did not respond when addressed. This prompted jail staff to enter the cell to check on him and after they saw he was unresponsive they began CPR and administered Narcan, a drug that’s used to save people suffering from drug overdoses.
Investigators reportedly say that there is no evidence of drug use or trauma and that an autopsy is set to be performed.
Holbrook had been charged with raping a female student from Bernard Middle School, where he was substitute teaching. He groomed the young girl over social media and raped her on at least three separate occasions at her home.
Holbrook was facing six counts of second-degree statutory sodomy and three counts of second-degree statutory rape.
St. Louis County Police Sgt. Tracy Panus said, “We have had other victims step forward that have similar allegations towards Holbrook.”
A lawyer for Holbrook, Scott Rosenblum, said, “My clients death seems quite unusual. I know for a fact that he was not suicidal.”
Holbrook is reportedly the third inmate to die at the St. Louis County Justice Center this year alone.
good riddance to garbage
Yes, good riddence to that loser.
The cops killed his a$$
He was certainly wrong, but how could he “rape” the girl on 3 separate occasions? Why didn’t she lock the door or call police? Almost sounds like it was consensual. The crime would be sex with an underage female.
