Charges dropped against Minnesota teacher accused of having sex with student

DILWORTH — A Clay County prosecutor has dismissed felony charges against a former substitute teacher accused of having sex with a 17-year-old boy.

Tara Nichols, 40, of Glyndon was charged with two counts of third-degree criminal sexual conduct in March. But prosecutor Pam Harris said she dropped the charges Tuesday, Oct. 18, after learning that the boy had withdrawn from the school where Nichols worked before the two allegedly had sex.

Because Nichols was not in a position of authority over the boy and because the age of consent in Minnesota is 16 years old, no crime was committed, Harris said.
