Northshore School District Teacher Arrested for Attempted Child Rape

 

REDMOND, WA - On Tuesday, Dec. 10, Redmond detectives, along with the Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) task force, arrested a Northshore School District teacher for attempted rape of a child in the first degree.

John E. Butz, 61, of Snohomish, was arrested in Redmond during a multi-agency operation targeting people allegedly involved in the sexual abuse and exploitation of children.

Online communications between a detective and Butz led to a planned meeting at a hotel in Redmond, where he believed he was meeting minors for illicit purposes.

Butz is currently in custody at the King County Correctional Facility.

Anyone who believes their child may be a victim is asked to contact their local law enforcement agency.
