Philadelphia teacher continued in job despite being fugitive in rape case

A man wanted on allegations he raped a 14-year-old girl and fathered her daughter was allowed to continue teaching math to eighth-grade boys at a privately run disciplinary school in Philadelphia even after school authorities learned he had been arrested. Arnesx Honore, 32, a teacher at the Hunting Park campus of Community Education Partners since 2003, was charged in 2006 with raping a minor.

But after those charges were dropped last year because the teenager was reluctant to testify, they were refiled a month later.
