Two days before the arrest, Falls Township Police Department received a call from the boy’ s grandmother, claiming her grandson was having a new sexual relationship with his teacher’ s aide at Valley Day School . In interviews with detectives, the alleged victim told authorities that he and the aide started texting each other discreetly on a messaging app.
As their relationship developed, they began meeting at Falls Township Park, he claimed, plus their meetings “ became romantic” in early June. The boy told police he and the particular aide had sex three times in July; twice in the area of the Levittown Lake within Tullytown Borough, and once near a baseball field in Bristol Township.
Derolf was arrested and sent to Bucks County Correctional Facility, on $900, 000 bond. She was immediately suspended from her school — which is a private school targeted at students with “ histories of acute learning, adjustment, behavioral, and/or emotional needs, ” according to its website — and not allowed to enter the building or have contact with students.
District Attorney Matt Weintraub said at the time:
“ The defendant’ s conduct is not only reprehensible, but criminal. She not only violated typically the trust required in any student teacher relationship, but also that trust that children should be able to have in all adults of authority. She will become held accountable for her legal acts. ”
The aide was released on bail on July 23 in addition to had been due to appear at her preliminary hearing in October. But tragically, she had other plans.
On August 22, the boy’s family called local police and asked them to perform a welfare check, after they learned Derolf had once again secretly contacted the child and arranged to meet with him.
As officers closed in on the meeting place, however, Derolf pulled out a gun and shot herself dead, right in front of this boy’s eyes. Police Chief Nelson Whitney said:
“ Upon the arrival of the police officers, Derolf committed suicide with a firearm. ”
The case is still under investigation. The boy was not really injured, but he’ll likely end up being scarred for life from witnessing such a disturbing sight.
