Behind School Doors: The Case of Joseph Dalton - Episode 2

Behind School Doors: The Joseph Dalton Case | Episode 2
 
Join me on Steph’s Case Files: Truth Be Told as we investigate one of Tennessee’s most troubling accountability failures—The Joseph Dalton Case.
Dalton, a former floating PE teacher, worked across multiple Blount County schools for nearly two decades. Despite numerous concerns dating back to 2005, he remained in the classroom until a parent’s report in 2023 led to a formal investigation.
In 2024, Dalton pleaded guilty to five misdemeanor charges and received a sentence of six months probation under judicial diversion—no incarceration, no placement on the sex offender registry, and eligibility for expungement.
This episode explores:
Over 80 reports and warnings that went unaddressed
School oversight breakdowns
A controversial judicial decision
A community demanding reform
This isn’t just a case—it’s a wake-up call for educators, parents, and lawmakers alike.This podcast is for informational and educational purposes.

Behind School Doors: The Case of Joseph Dalton

Joseph Dalton is a former physical education teacher who worked for Blount County Schools in Tennessee. He was employed as a floating PE instructor, teaching at multiple elementary schools including Friendsville, Lanier, and Walland.
Key Facts:
In September 2023, Dalton was suspended without pay after a parent reported inappropriate conduct involving students.
He resigned the same day the report was made.
In January 2024, Dalton was arrested and later pleaded guilty to five counts of assault (physical contact)—a Class B misdemeanor.
The charges stemmed from inappropriate touching of multiple young students.
On May 1, 2025, he was sentenced to six months of probation and granted judicial diversion, meaning the charges could be expunged from his record if he complies with the court’s terms.
Despite reports of complaints dating back to as early as 2005, no prior charges were brought until 2023.
The light sentence has caused community outrage, with protests erupting at the Blount County courthouse demanding accountability and justice for the victims.
