WEST PALM BEACH — Jailed former Palm Beach County teacher Stephen Budd was arraigned on 59 child pornography charges Friday morning, even as he faces earlier charges that he molested two of his former students.
Budd, who taught at the Rosarian Academy in West Palm Beach at the time of the alleged lewd acts with two fourth-grade students, was not present for Friday morning’s hearing before Palm Beach County Circuit Judge Karen Miller.
Budd’s attorney, Jason Weiss, entered a plea of not guilty to the latest charges on his behalf.
Both defense attorneys and prosecutors in the case are expected to appear in court again in November.
