Summary
Essex County prosecutors said 38-year-old Tymond Tran pleaded not guilty in Superior Court to five charges tied to an alleged 2022-23 assault of a then-14-year-old student in Lynn.
Judge John C. Fraser allowed Tran to remain free under strict conditions, including house arrest with GPS monitoring, no unsupervised contact with minors, random device searches and no contact with victims or witnesses.
Tran taught eighth grade at Thurgood Marshall Middle School during the period in question and is due back in court Aug. 26 for a pretrial conference.
Lynn officials said Tran worked in the district from 2021 to 2024 and left voluntarily; the district is cooperating with law enforcement, running an independent investigation and offering support to affected students, families and staff.
Amazon had named Tran one of 10 Future Engineer Teacher of the Year recipients in 2022, an award recognizing educators for computer science instruction and expanding STEM access.
