Richland One high school teacher charged with sex crimes against minors
A Richland One high school teacher is facing criminal charges after authorities say he committed multiple sex crimes against minors, according to court records.
Eric Marshall Favor Jr., 29, a teacher at Lower Richland High School was charged with one count of second-degree criminal sexual conduct with a minor, one count of third-degree criminal sexual conduct with a minor, criminal conspiracy and promoting prostitution of a minor on Tuesday, according to Marion County court records.
Marshall’s arrest follows a 2024 investigation by the Marion County Sheriff’s Office that involved two underage victims, according to a report from WIS.
Details surrounding the investigation were not immediately available.
Ilyssa Weiner, a spokesperson for Richland School District One, confirmed that Marshall taught social studies at Lower Richland High School and that the district was aware of his arrest.
Weiner, however, did not answer questions related to pending disciplinary actions against Favor.
Favor was booked into the Marion County Detention Center, where bond was denied Wednesday. A first appearance is scheduled for April 15, according to court records.
