David Schachter, of Kyle, was found not guilty of Assault - Offensive Contact, a class C misdemeanor. A second charge of the same offense was dismissed, according to a press release from Schachter’s lawyer Lytza Rojas.
Schachter was a teacher at Danforth Junior High at Wimberley ISD in 2022, when the allegations were made, and had previously worked for San Marcos CISD. He is no longer employed by either district.
According to a press release from Rojas, Schachter “is a well-respected teacher and member of the community. David chose to testify at his trial and vehemently denied any wrongdoing. David testified to the surrounding facts concerning the false allegation made by the student and exposed the deficient police investigation. After just one day of testimony and careful examination of the evidence brought by the Defense, the jury returned a swift and powerful verdict of NOT GUILTY against David Schachter. The State dismissed the second pending case.”
