The spokesperson said the district learned about the initial charges against Kummer in November of 2015, about a decade and a half later. According to a criminal docket however, Kummer successfully completed the Accelerated Rehabilitative Disposition (ARD) program and was never convicted of any of those offenses.Ī spokesperson for the Abington School District told NBC10 that under state law in 2000, Kummer was not required to report those types of criminal offenses and the district had no knowledge of it. In March of 2000 however, he was charged with terroristic threats, simple assault as well as a summary offense of harassment. Kummer also told the judge he had been a teacher in the Abington School District for 23 years and hadn't had any problems. The judge denied Kummer's request for lowered bail however, saying that she considered him a flight risk due to a message he allegedly sent to the student stating that he was thinking of running away.
During a court appearance, Kummer asked the judge to lower his bail, telling her he is the caretaker for his cancer-stricken father and that he was worried about his college-aged daughter.
