Case Details
Austin Martin - 27-year-old former Stephan Decatur High School teacher - was acquitted from a sex abuse of a minor charge.
Additional Notes
John Phoebus, a Salisbury criminal defense attorney for Martin, declared in court that the relationship between his client and the student was “wrong, but not criminal.” The defense argued that the majority of inappropriate text exchanges occurred during the summer season, when Martin was not considered a teacher according to state law.
