The Hilton elementary school principal accused of sexually abusing at least 11 boys at Northwood Elementary has pleaded not guilty to 25 counts filed against him.
The judge set bail at $250,000 cash for Kirk Ashton, who was arrested earlier this month after the boys began coming forward to say what happened to them. Orders of protection have been put in place for ten of the eleven families.
Ashton remains in the Niagara County Jail.
