   Naughton, who has been out of jail on a $2,000 signature bond since Feb. 28, had been suspended from teaching at Northwood High School in Minong where he was a biology teacher at the time of the alleged incident. He has been employed by the school district since 1993.
   
   The incident occurred on or around June 9, 2001, when Naughton, then employed as teacher at the high school, allegedly had sexual intercourse with a 16-year-old female student at Naughton's home.

   A preliminary hearing in the case was adjourned on March 20. The victim did not show up in court for questioning after being served two subpoenas to do so.

   Naughton's attorney, Michael Milliken of Superior, had motioned for the court to dismiss the charge since the witness did not appear in court as instructed.
