“There was some chatter among students that was passed back and forth, which made its way to school administration,” Gaston County police Capt. Bill Downey said.
Investigators said Rothwell began tutoring the victim last school year.
“Tutoring, the assistant principal, in this case, was helping the young man with some issues as far as school,” Capt. Downey said.
