Tulsa, Ok – Another charge is filed against Skelly Elementary Vice Principal Robert Yerton, Junior.

A teenager says he was molested nine years ago in the restroom of the Disney Elementary School, where Yerton once worked.

Three other boys have come forward with allegations against Yerton, who has been a teacher youth minister and worked with the Boy Scouts for over 20-years.

Police are asking anyone who believes they had inappropriate contact with Yerton to call the Police Child Crisis Unit at 669-6504
