South Carolina Teacher Charged with Stalking 11-Year-Old Student

Dylan Robert Dukes, a former 'Teacher of the Year,' allegedly sent over 60 love letters and gifts to a former student.

Authorities arrested Dukes for stalking and sending unsolicited gifts to an 11-year-old girl.
The teacher allegedly gave the student a personalized box with letters for each day of summer vacation.
Dukes joined the child's church and attended her functions outside of school, raising concerns about his obsession.
A search of Dukes' classroom revealed multiple non-sexual photos of the child.
Dukes has been placed on administrative leave and is prohibited from contacting the victim or her family.
