A twisted Maryland “Teacher of the Year” was thrown behind bars for allegedly grooming a 15-year-old boy for weeks before trying to have sex with him, police said.
Dennis Jutras, 61, was arrested Thursday at a local park while trying to meet up with the boy after sending explicit photos and disturbing messages to an undercover detective posing as a teen during an online sting targeting child predators, according to the Harford County Sheriff’s Office.
The sickening chats between the Baltimore City Public Schools administrator and the decoy allegedly went on for two weeks.
Police said Jutras contacted the undercover agent he believed was a teenage boy on social media on May 7 — and quickly revealed he was a longtime teacher at Baltimore Polytechnic Institute before being promoted within the district.
The deranged suspect allegedly initiated sexually charged and intimate conversations before flooding the exchange with lewd images.
The fictitious teen arranged a meeting with Jutras at a Harford County park, where he was taken into custody, police said.
Jutras, who has been employed within the school district for nearly 27 years, was named Baltimore’s “Teacher of the Year” in 2005 while working as a social studies teacher at Baltimore Polytechnic Institute, according to a news release that hailed him as a “standout” educator.
The warped educator is currently a coordinator of advanced learning for pre-K through 12th grade, a position he’s held since 2013, according to his LinkedIn.
He has since been placed on administrative leave, Baltimore City Schools announced Tuesday.

gov’t schools.
That pic was v scary. But then, given our current crop of ‘eddikatorz’, probably typical. Oh, the females of the species normally come with blue hair, nose rings, ant tats.
But they DO have degrees in ‘eddikashun’.
Happy to serve on the Firing Squad Detail! Keep me posted …
Whatgraded8dheteach?
Mostly, they don't.
They think they know what one sounds or acts like.
Mostly, they don't.
The most common protest I have heard is "but the children LIKE him" (or her. Don't want people to think I am sexist. And there are far more female sexual predators than people would like to believe).
Yes, the children like him or her or it. That is why they are able to get away with it for so long.
And why the victims remain silent. They have been told repeatedly that no one will believe them. They have been told that if they say anything their families will be targeted. And, sadly, what they have been told is the truth more often than not.
What is it with queers always wanting kids?
Odds are they were abused as kids themselves and this is their revenge.
Woodchipper goes “burrrrr”.
Shut the indoctrination centers known as public schools down.
Along with the rest of the public schools in the country.
Mental illness and demonic possession.
25 years ago, there was a Catholic Church that let a retired priest live with the other priests. This man was a registered sex offender.
My sister got so mad that she stopped going to church. Kept her kids away too(to protect them) okay.
She worked at the public school but never pulled her kids out of school when these child abuse issues come up.
Sad but true.
No one will ever tell me Tim Walz wasn’t a predator of young boys. His teaching employment past, his traveling with young boys, his “coaching” fits every criteria of a pedophile.
