Camden Military Academy dean sexually harassed student, lawsuit says

A lawsuit in federal court against Camden Military Academy alleges that the school’s dean of students engaged in sexually “inappropriate conversations, innuendos and conduct” with a minor child identified only as A.M. at the school.

The dean, John Heflin, “communicated via text message with A.M. hundreds of times at all hours of the day and night” to carry on an “inappropriate relationship,” said the lawsuit, filed in federal court by the Allen & Allen law firm in Anderson.

In legal answers to the complaint, lawyers for Camden Military Academy and Heflin deny the allegations.
