An arraignment was held Tuesday in Fourth Judicial District Court in Sheridan for a Sheridan High School Assistant Principal charged with sexual assault. Sheridan Media’s Ron Richter has the details.
On May 6, 2024, Sheridan High School Virtual Learning Assistant Principal Jacob Meyer was arrested by the Sheridan Police Department for second degree sexual assault. According to court documents, on May 4, SHS Principal Scott Cleland contacted the Sheridan Police Department to report an alleged sexual relationship between Meyer and a student. The affidavit of probable cause states that a student had reported the relationship to Principal Cleland. The alleged sexual assault occurred at Meyer’s residence on April 19, 2024, when Meyer provided the victim with alcohol prior to committing the alleged crime. Meyer and the victim had been in a text based relationship since November of 2023.
Meyer, at an arraignment hearing Tuesday afternoon in District Court, pleaded not guilty to the charge of second degree sexual assault. District Court Judge Ben Kirven scheduled trial for November 14. A pretrial conference will be held October 10 at 9 am.
Meyer’s bond was continued under the same terms and conditions that were modified at a hearing last month in Circuit Court. Meyer’s bond was modified to a $20,000 cash or surety bond. As part of his bond conditions, Meyer must wear a GPS ankle monitor and submit to daily breathalyzer tests to ensure that he isn’t consuming alcohol. The crime of second degree sexual assault is punishable by not less than two years and not more than 20 years in prison and a fine of up to $10,000.
