TULSA, Okla. - A Tulsa Public Schools administrator faces another lewd molestation charge.
Skelly Elementary Assistant Principal Robert Yerton Jr. now faces two counts of lewd molestation and two counts of sexual abuse of a child.
The DA added a new charge on Tuesday. The latest lewd molestation charge comes after police say another 9-year-old student came forward. The charge is from an incident in November 2009.
Court records show Yerton bonded out of jail late Tuesday night. His bond had been set at $150,000. He was due back in court Wednesday morning.
Yerton is currently on paid suspension from the Tulsa School District, during this investigation.
