Temporary sexual violence protection order filed against former Butler school director
Former Butler School Board member William “Bill” Halle has been prohibited from contacting a 17-year-old after the juvenile’s father obtained a sexual violence protection order that claims Halle had a sexual relationship with the minor.
The order issued Friday, April 28, by Butler County Common Pleas Court Judge S. Michael Yeager prohibits Halle from having any contact with the minor, bans him from the plaintiff’s Butler home and prohibits him from abusing, harassing, stalking or threatening the plaintiff and posting any remarks or images of the minor on any social media website or network.
The order remains in effect until it is modified or terminated by the court.
Halle said he resigned from the Butler Area School District board on Sunday, April 30, as well as the boards of the Butler County Area Vocational-Technical School and the Midwestern Intermediate Unit IV.
“There is a legal matter that is personal that I am taking care of,” Halle told the Eagle on Monday afternoon, May 1. “That's why I resigned, I do not want to bring this to the doorstep of any of the boards I sit on.”
