Freed was charged on Tuesday with 30 counts of indecent sexual contact with the boy, one count of sexual assault, one count of aggravated indecent assault, one count of corruption of a minor, and three misdemeanor counts of providing alcohol to a minor, as per court records.
The sexual contact began in 2015, when the boy was in middle school. Two years later the contact with the boy became sexual and continued after the boy graduated high school up until a few months ago--he is now college age. The sexual contact ended in April, according to an affidavit.
The student told investigators that he initially grew close to Freed after the death of a family member--a time when people can be most vulnerable and can be taken advantage of by adults. The student began to lean on Freed for emotional support and stated that “he trusted Freed ‘like an older brother’,” the document states.

Their relationship grew quickly outside of school whereby Freed gave the boy rides in his car to places where they could have “one-on-one conversations” and Freed could groom him.
Freed is still employed as a principal at Williamsport Area High School.
The student said he considered the educator and himself to be “bros” and said they could talk about anything, including his sexuality. They routinely texted, called and FaceTimed one another, police said.
Freed began sexual contact with the boy in 2017 and he asked the child not to say anything because Freed evidently knew what he was doing was illegal and he might even lose his job.
The student said he felt “overwhelming guilt” after the first sexual encounter, according to the affidavit.
Freed and the boy continued to engage in sexual activity four to five times a week throughout the student’s next two years of high school. The student told police their relationship continued as he graduated high school and entered college.
Freed was arraigned Tuesday and released on supervision after making $175,000 bail. He is required to wear an ankle monitor at all times and is prohibited from having any contact with minors or the victim.
Freed, who is employed as a principal at Williamsport Area High School, has been suspended WITH PAY by the school board, according to PennLive.
