Stephen Budd case: Evidence, statements detail allegations against former Rosarian Academy teacher
By: Alex Sanz
WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — Eyewitness statements and police evidence obtained by WPTV NewsChannel 5 have painted a chilling picture of the allegations against Stephen Budd, the former Rosarian Academy teacher accused of engaging in sexual activity with at least two of his fourth grade students.
Earlier this year, two former students came forward and told the West Palm Beach Police Department that in 2006, when they were in the fourth grade, Budd had engaged in sexual activity with them.
In graphic statements to the West Palm Beach Police Department, one of the students detailed instances of oral sex being performed in the classroom.
One of the students also detailed instances of photographs of her genitals being taken with a Polaroid in a school bathroom.
The students told police that Budd would give them “Budd Bucks” — a fake dollar bill with his face on it — in exchange for the sexual acts.
