Cloverly ES substitute teacher arrested for inappropriate touching of student

Steven Katz

Montgomery County police have charged a substitute teacher at Cloverly Elementary School with Sexual Abuse of a Minor and 4th Degree Sexual Offense. Detectives say Steven Katz, 59, admitted inappropriately touching a male student at the school during their questioning of him. The student told his parent about the incident after school on that day, March 8. His parent notified the school, and the school called the police, Special Victims Investigation Unit detectives say.

Detectives are concerned that there may be more victims at the school, or elsewhere. They are requesting that parents of juveniles who may have had contact with Steven Katz talk to their children about any interaction with Katz, and contact SVID detectives at 240-773-5400 if they believe their child was victimized.
