Henderson County teacher accused in sex sting facing new charge

GREENSBORO, N.C. (AP) -- A Henderson County teacher among three North Carolina teachers charged with soliciting a minor for sex is facing additional charges in South Carolina.

Authorities in Greenville, S.C., have charged David Frank Pace with four counts of criminal solicitation of a minor. Pace, a teacher at North Henderson High School, was being held on a $190,000 bond after he was arrested Tuesday.

Authorities said Pace was still in jail Friday and would be transferred to South Carolina authorities when he is released.

Guilford County Sheriff B.J. Barnes announced Friday that Pace, David Brian Seus and Kevin Samuel had been charged with soliciting a minor for sex after a police sting. Barnes said the men thought they were talking to young teenage girls but were actually talking to deputies.

Authorities have said that two of the suspects contacted a deputy posing as a 13-year-old girl, and another deputy posing as a 14-year-old girl was contacted by the third suspect.

Seus, 30, is a teaching assistant and a lacrosse coach at Western Guilford High School. He was arrested Tuesday and was released after posting bond. He resigned Thursday.

Samuel, 46, teaches at The High School Ahead Academy. He was arrested Thursday and held on a $10,000 bond.
