A Sherwood piano teacher accused of sexually abusing one of his students was acquitted of all charges and released from custody last week, according to Washington County court records.

Christopher M. Griffin, 29, was ordered released from custody last Thursday after Washington County Circuit Judge Oscar Garcia held a bench trial.

Griffin had pleaded not guilty to 25 total counts of first-degree sodomy, unlawful sexual penetration and sexual abuse, records show.

Griffin was a teacher at Let’s Make Music and Dance, a music academy on the northeast edge of the Washington County city’s downtown.

He was initially arrested March 9 on suspicion of sexually abusing an 8-year-old girl, records show.
