Howard Co. teacher indicted on sex abuse charges

A Howard County teacher charged earlier this month with sexually assaulting a 14-year-old boy he met online was indicted on the charges Wednesday.

Christopher Russell Fox, 36, of Randallstown, was indicted on four counts of third-degree sex offense and one count of sexual solicitation of minor by a Howard County grand jury.

Fox had worked at Atholton High School and Folly Quarter and Mount View middle schools since 2003. He served as a junior varsity baseball coach at Glenelg High School in 2006-2007, according to the school system.

When Fox was arrested in November, the school system said he was placed on administrative leave pending a personnel investigation.

According to police, Fox engaged in sexual acts with a 14-year-old boy in the early morning hours of July 10 outside his Howard County home. Police said the boy told them he engaged in the acts willingly.

Fox has been released on $30,000 bond, according to the indictment.
