A junior high teacher in Boise, Idaho is accused of raping a male student, authorities say.

Eric McDermott, 59, was arrested on Monday. The teacher was charged with rape and sexual battery committed by lewd or lascivious acts on a minor 16 to 17 years of age, according to the Idaho Statesman.

McDermott taught geography at Fairmont Junior High and coached a boy’s basketball team.

During a Monday arraignment, a prosecutor explained that McDermott taught the male victim when he was 15 years old.

McDermott is accused of contacting the then-16-year-old on a “dating hookup site” in 2020 and sending nude photos.

McDermott allegedly communicated with the teen through the site for several days.

Authorities believe McDermott then picked the boy up and raped him at his home.

A Boise junior high teacher and coach was sentenced for sexually abusing a minor he once taught.

Eric McDermott, 59, pleaded guilty to a felony charge of sexual battery committed on a minor 16 years of age as part of a plea agreement that saw his initial rape charge dropped.
McDermott, a former geography teacher and boys basketball coach at Fairmont Junior High, taught the male victim when the teenager was 15, according to arraignment documents.

McDermott allegedly contacted him in 2020, when the victim was 16, on a “dating hookup site,” according to prosecution statements at the arraignment. The prosecution said McDermott sent nude photos and communicated with the teen for several days before picking him up and driving him to McDermott’s home.
Ada County District Judge Derrick O’Neill sentenced the former teacher to 20 years in prison, with seven years fixed, meaning McDermott won’t be eligible for parole until at least seven years into his term. The judge also ordered McDermott to pay the victim $5,000.
