Kevin Gausepohl resigned as a music instructor at Tacoma Community College after being told that officials were investigating charges that he told a student to strip because she could reach lower octaves by singing while naked or performing sexual acts, The News Tribune reported. The student was 17 years old at the time, and enrolled in a dual program with a local high school. Other students told authorities that they received similar requests from the instructor, who cited a study on which he said he was working as the need for the unusual singing arrangement. The other students, unlike the 17-year-old, did not comply. The instructor denies wrongdoing. He is facing seven counts of communicating with a minor for immoral purposes and one count of obstructing a law enforcement officer, according to court records.
