Hopkins told the police that he merely offered the girls high fives and side hugs after being accused of acting inappropriately with his female first-grade students, but the gym’s CCTV footage showed otherwise.
Hopkins was seen on tape making inappropriate physical contact with 88 girls, according to Warren County Prosecutor Dave Fornshell.
Many of the young girls were seen straddling Hopkins or sitting on his lap in a “sexual manner,” according to Fornshell.
