Sexual misconduct charge against Vancouver teacher dropped due to statute of limitations

PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) -- A charge against a Vancouver English teacher for alleged sexual misconduct with a student was dropped Thursday, due to the expiration of the statute of limitations, court documents say.

Hudson’s Bay High School teacher Shadbreon Gatson was arrested on Dec. 20 and originally charged with sexual misconduct with a minor after Vancouver police say the alleged victim - who is now an adult - was a 16-year-old student when she claims the misconduct took place.
