BALTIMORE — A recently fired teacher at the Gilman School in Baltimore is accused of sexually abusing students.
On Friday, Baltimore County Police raided the Towson Home of Christopher Bendann on Stanmore Road.
Detectives began investigating Bendann back in January after he was terminated by the school for "inappropriate and suspicious relationships with current and former students."
According to charging docs, one victim stated that from Sept. 16- June 2018, Bendann would give him rides home after they had been drinking.
In exchange for the ride, Bendann would make them run around naked at Meadowood Park and the hill at St. Paul's.
The victim reported that this went on for about a year and "then things got worse."
From here, Bendann would request nude photos from the victim on Snapchat. He would then threaten to expose the victim if he didn't produce more pictures.
The victim added that the abuse went from sending nude photos to touching him in his private areas.
The forcible touching would occur in Bendann's car or one of the several different houses where he was house sitting. In some cases, Bendann would force the victim to shower with him and if he didn't comply, he threatened to expose the victim's nude photos.
Bendann was still employed at Gilman as a teacher and an advisor at the time of the abuse.
The victim says he was 15-years-old when the abuse started.
Police say they have at least one victim who has come forward thus far, but believe there could be several more.
Bendann already faces multiple counts including sexual abuse of a minor and second degree rape.

A spokesperson for Gilman confirmed a teacher had been fired over the allegations last month, but refused to identify Bendann by name, citing personnel matters.
