A former substitute teacher for Huron Valley Schools was found guilty Monday of sex crimes against children.

According to the Oakland Press, the Oakland County jury found 61-year-old Timothy Daugherty guild of all six counts of second-degree criminal sexual conduct for crimes involving girls between the ages of 9 and 11 at Spring Mills Elementary School in Highland Township.

A substitute teacher from White Lake Township was remanded to the Oakland County Jail on Monday after a jury convicted him of sex crimes against children.

Timothy Daugherty, 61, was found guilty of all six counts of second-degree criminal sexual conduct filed against him for crimes that happened at Spring Mills Elementary School in Highland Township where he worked as a guest teacher for Huron Valley Schools.

Upon the verdict, Judge Yasmine Poles revoked Daugherty's bond and sent him to the county jail to await sentencing.

He faces up to 15 years in prison when sentenced June 24.

“Timothy Daugherty victimized the children he was supposed to nurture and protect,” said Prosecutor Karen McDonald.

“Parents expect schools to be a safe place for their children and children should never have to fear their own teachers. Coming forward is never easy for victims, especially children. Thanks to them, Daugherty won’t be able to harm another student.”

Attorney Ven Johnson, who is representing several of the victims and their families, issued a statement shortly after news of the verdict was announced.

“The criminal conviction of Timothy Daugherty is a necessary first step—but it’s far from the end of the fight for justice," the statement said. "Our clients and their families continue to live with the trauma inflicted by a man who should never have been in a classroom, and by a system that failed to protect them. Now that the criminal trial has concluded, we will soon be filing a civil lawsuit to hold all responsible parties accountable—not just Daugherty, but any institution that allowed him continued access to vulnerable children."
