JROTC Instructor Charged With Sexual Abuse

{Charleston, West Virginia}...Sgt. Edwin Smuda, 58, of Dunbar, who has been a JROTC instructor at South Charleston High School for years, has been charged with sexual abuse after a  teen student told Dunbar Police that Smuda inappropriately touched him while he was at his teacher's home over the summer. According to a criminal complaint, the boy says he was watching a movie with Smuda at his home when Smuda came over and laid on the couch with him and then rubbed his chest and moved his hand down near his waist. The victim says he felt uncomfortable and got up and went into the kitchen, but, when he came back, Smuda came back over to the couch and put his hands down his pants.
