    Former High School of Commerce teacher accused of sending obscene texts to 15-year-old student

    Christopher T. Ertl, 36, of Dalton allegedly sent several obscene texts to one of his freshman students on May 5, Springfield District Court records show. When the male student complained to school officials, Ertl was escorted from the building on May 8 and later named in a two-count complaint by Springfield police, records show.

    ...

    In his statement to police, the freshman said he was sitting in the school cafeteria on May 5, deleting nude photos of himself and others from his cell phone, when he noticed Ertl hovering over his shoulder. When the student explained that he was the subject of some photos, the teacher responded “nice” and walked away, according to the complaint.


    Ertl began sending him sexually explicit text messages later that night, the student wrote. Their discussion covered several topics, including the student’s sexuality and Ertl’s enthusiasm for oral sex, according to text message excerpts in the court file:


    “Damn, I need some D!...” Ertl wrote. “It’s been way too long.”
    Eventually, the 15-year-old told the teacher to go to sleep, the records show.
    “Yeah, I’m going to go look at some naughty pictures now,” Ertl said.
    “Enjoy,” the student replied.
    “Unless you have some?” the teacher asked.
    “(Shut up) and go to bed, ha-ha,” the student wrote.

    Former High School of Commerce teacher accused of sending obscene texts to student also faced charges in Berkshire County

    In court records, Springfield police stated that Ertl was also awaiting trial in Berkshire County in June on one count of indecent assault and battery on a person over 14 and two counts of procuring alcohol for a minor. The outcome of the trial, scheduled for June 19, was unclear Thursday. Ertl’s defense lawyer, Kenneth G. Warren Jr. of Pittsfield, did not respond to a request for comment, and a spokesman for the Berkshire County District Attorney’s office could not immediately provide information on the subject.
