A former Pike County teacher charged with official misconduct is found not guilty.
After several delays, testimony wrapped up Lincoln Bentley's trial late Thursday.
He was accused of asking a student to show him her breasts for a higher grade.
Officials say it took less than an hour for a jury to find him innocent.

Mr. Lincoln Bentley was the best English teacher I had at East Ridge... I was in his first period class and I couldn't wait to head to school and start the day with reading...

The girl that made the accusation has switched schools several times, has even failed a grade...no one really knows the truth but her or the teacher...it is sad to think that an injustice has been done on either side, but this goes to show that parents need to be involved in their children's education ALL the time, not just when there is a problem, if they were, there would be many LESS problems. Knowing the girl, there isn't much home support, now whether or not she told the truth, who's to say? Kids figure out at a young age how to manipulate to get their way especially when they grow up seeing their parents do it everyday.
