A West Ashley High School teacher accused of raping a woman drove his car into a tree and died this morning, Charleston County Sheriff's Major John Clark said.
A suicide note was found in 38-year-old Scott Knight’s car.
Knight was free on a $20,000 bond after being arrested for criminal sexual conduct and assault and battery of a high and aggravated nature. Knight was accused of forcing a woman to have sex with him at his home in Concord West of the Ashley on 45 Sycamore Ave.
He had been on administrative leave from West Ashley High School since November, when he was arrested and charged with harassing two students.

Teacher Arrested Second Time, Faces Two New Charges
12-24-2007 South Carolina
A West Ashley High School teacher, first accused of harassing a student, now faces serious new charges.
Scott Knight charged with Criminal Sexual Conduct and Assault and Battery of a High and Aggravated Nature.
The September incident happened in Knight’s bedroom, deputies said.
The woman told detectives Knight lured her into his bedroom, after he claimed he had gifts for her.
Instead, police say, he closed and locked the bedroom door and then pushed her down on his bed.
Reports show the woman tried to convince Knight to let her leave the room.
Instead, the arrest affidavit says knight pinned the woman down to the bed, then sexually assaulted her.
Investigators are still trying to figure out the connection between the two and how this woman ended up in Knight's apartment.
The 38-year old is out on a 20-thousand dollar bond...and on paid administrative leave.
No word on whether the new charges will change his status at the school district.
Mary Runyon, principal at West Ashley High School, by phone told Live 5 News it’s unfortunate any time something like this happens especially when it’s a teacher.
Runyon considers Knight a good teacher. ..more.. by Hatzel Vela,
