Former Chicago school employee charged with child sexual assault, grooming
The Brief
Timothy Seals, a 34-year-old Chicago man, has pleaded not guilty to a charge of disseminating child sexual abuse material amidst multiple sex-related offenses.
Seals' arrest follows allegations of inappropriate conduct with a student, which previously led to his removal from CICS Washington Park school in August 2025.
Chicago Public Schools stated they take misconduct seriously and are cooperating with an ongoing Office of Inspector General investigation, though they declined to comment further due to privacy laws.
CHICAGO - A Chicago man accused of multiple child sex-related offenses has pleaded not guilty to one of the charges stemming from an ongoing criminal case.
Timothy Seals, 34, was arrested on March 17 at Silver Oaks Behavioral Hospital in suburban New Lenox, according to authorities.
Prosecutors charged Seals with grooming, criminal sexual assault involving a victim between the ages of 13 and 17, solicitation related to child sexual abuse material, and dissemination of child sexual abuse material.
During a court hearing Wednesday, Seals pleaded not guilty to a charge alleging dissemination of child sexual abuse material.
Court records show the case remains pending.
The backstory
The allegations also prompted concern within the education community. In August 2025, families at CICS Washington Park were notified that a staff member had been removed from the school after allegations surfaced that the employee had engaged in inappropriate conduct with a student while working at another school.
School officials said at the time that the employee was removed from the building and that the Chicago Public Schools Office of Inspector General launched an investigation. The student's family was notified, and support services were offered through the district's Office of Student Protections and Title IX.
What they're saying
In a statement Thursday, a spokesperson with Chicago Public Schools said the following:
"Chicago Public Schools (CPS) is committed to the safety and well-being of our students and takes seriously all allegations of employee misconduct. CPS investigates and addresses all complaints in accordance with District policies and procedures to foster safe and secure learning environments in all schools. In accordance with privacy laws, the District does not comment on ongoing investigations or personnel matters."
What's next
Seals has a detention hearing scheduled for Friday.

Corrections officer who pretended to be his wife after killing her, daughter and texted surviving kids that 'mommy missed them' headed to prison for over a century
Jalooni Blackshear was sentenced to 150 years in prison on Tuesday after he pleaded guilty to the murders of his wife Raechyl Blackshear, 35, and his 14-year-old daughter Jayla Blackshear, the Alaska Department of Law said.
The Anchorage Police Department began investigating the defendant on March 30, 2022, when Jayla came forward to accuse her father of sexually abusing her. After learning of this, Jalooni Blackshear convinced his wife to bring Jayla back to the police department on April 3, 2022, in an attempt to recant her story.
That was the last time anyone saw Jayla and her mother alive.
Days later, Jalooni Blackshear fled the state and headed east.
"It was later discovered that after murdering his wife and child, he took their phones and pretended to be them, to include telling his surviving children that mommy missed them and to wish one a happy birthday," prosecutors wrote.
After Raechyl Blackshear did not show up for a doctor's appointment on April 15, 2022, cops responded to her home and found her and Jayla dead from gunshot wounds to the head in an upstairs bedroom.
Through the victims' phones, cops tracked the suspect to Staten Island, New York, and arrested him.
At sentencing, Superior Court Judge Josie Garton found that Jalooni Blackshear subjected his wife and daughters to years of physical and sexual violence. He terrorized them into silence, and when Jayla came forward to police he killed her and her mother.
"In handing down the 150 year sentence, Judge Garton noted that Blackshear's communication after the murders, where he impersonated his dead wife and child, were depraved, cruel and calculated," prosecutors wrote.
After the discovery of her and her mother's bodies, Jayla Blackshear's classmates and teachers held a memorial at a local park to honor her.
"She was a fun, outgoing person who never let anyone put her down, and she always tried to make everyone else around her smile," her friend Jalysa Osborne told local NBC affiliate KTUU.
Her teacher Shannon Velez didn't want to believe her student was dead.
"I kept telling myself it really wasn't her. It really wasn't. It's not her, it's not her," Velez told the TV station.
LaFayette Man Caged For Life After Years Of Sex Abuse At Family Sleepovers
Investigators say the abuse stayed in the dark until one child disclosed what had been happening to a school official, triggering a report and an investigation by the Walker County Sheriff’s Office. Two additional victims later came forward during forensic interviews. Those interviews were conducted by senior forensic interviewer Holly Kittle at the Children’s Advocacy Center of the Lookout Mountain Judicial Circuit, according to AM 1180 Radio.
The Children’s Advocacy Center provides specialized forensic interviews and follow-up services for children and families in a setting designed to be less intimidating than a police station or courthouse, according to the center’s website at CAC-LMJC. That setup allowed investigators and prosecutors to hear the children’s accounts while limiting how often they had to relive the alleged abuse.
Chief Assistant District Attorney Lynsay Chapman led the prosecution, working alongside victim advocates and investigators throughout the case. Acting District Attorney Deanna Reisman later called the outcome "the result of dedication and perseverance," according to Discover Dade. In court, prosecutors outlined what they described as a pattern of grooming, including gifts, special attention and invitations to one-on-one activities that isolated the children from other adults.
What the life sentence really means
Frazier’s sentence of life with the first 70 years to be served in the Georgia Department of Corrections is not just symbolic. Barring extraordinary circumstances, it amounts to a decades-long prison term that he is unlikely to outlive. The convictions include multiple aggravated counts, which prosecutors said reflected repeated abuse over an extended period, according to reporting by AM 1180 Radio.
Where families can turn for help
The Children’s Advocacy Center of the Lookout Mountain Judicial Circuit offers forensic interviews, therapy and referrals to local support services for children and non-offending caregivers. Its website lists its Fort Oglethorpe office at 106 W. Forrest Rd. and a contact number of 706-866-8811, according to CAC-LMJC. The center is designed as a coordinated, child-friendly hub where law enforcement, prosecutors and service providers can work with families in one place.
The trial played out in Walker County Superior Court in LaFayette before Chief Judge Brian House, according to the county courthouse directory. With sentencing complete, the case now shifts from the courtroom to long-term support and recovery for the victims and their families, alongside ongoing work by advocates who handle some of the circuit’s most difficult cases.
