A Helena teacher's case was dismissed Monday by Lewis and Clark County District Court Judge Kathy Seeley after she said insufficient evidence was provided to prove he committed assault on a minor.

Carson Christman Yahvah, a former Four Georgians Elementary music teacher, was found not guilty during his bench trial with Seeley.

This was Yahvah's second court case regarding assault charges.

On Nov. 8, 2023, he was found not guilty on two charges of assaulting a third grade student at Four Georgians Elementary School.

Yahvah was suspended at the time for his actions. Helena Public Schools officials said in November Yahvah was on leave without pay “pending resolution of all legal matters.”
