WILKES-BARRE – Two Coughlin High School ninth-grade students have been suspended from school and charged with disorderly conduct after allegedly engaging in sexual activity in an empty hallway inside the school.

The teenage boy and girl were suspended for five days starting Friday and charges against them were filed by school security officers, said Jeff Namey, the superintendent of Wilkes-Barre Area School District.

The students, who were not identified, had consensual sexual contact at about 7:45 a.m. on Thursday, Namey said. He did not get into specifics about the contact, but said the students have admitted to it.

He said they arrived at school early and instead of staying in the school cafeteria under faculty supervision, as early-arriving students are supposed to do, they went into a hallway near the auditorium.

“It was obviously planned in advance,” Namey said.

Namey said he’s not sure if the students initially entered the cafeteria and then went to the hallway or if they went straight to the hallway after entering the building.

Namey said no one saw the incident, but word of it got back to faculty members.
