A private school
teacher from a school in north Fayette County has been arrested for soliciting
sex from a student at the school.
And an administrator
from the school, Solid Rock Academy, has been charged with failing to
report a suspected case of child abuse, as required by Georgia law.
According to
warrants for his arrest, Dwayne Booth, 34, of College Park, attempted
to have a student under 16 commit the act of sodomy in his classroom at
Solid Rock Academy.
Booth is charged
with two felonies: enticing a child for indecent purposes and solicitation
of sodomy. The investigation began when the parents of the victim shared
their suspicions with investigators.
A woman who
said she was the school's top administrator told The Citizen she could
not comment on the incident. She refused to give her name and ended the
conversation by hanging up on the reporter.
There are indications
that other victims may be involved and the investigation is continuing,
according to officials at the Sheriff's Department.
The administrator,
Judith Warnell Lyon, 50, was arrested on a misdemeanor charge of failure
to report suspected child abuse.
School officials
are bound by Georgia law to report any suspicions of child abuse to law
enforcement authorities.
The cases are
being investigated by the Fayette County Sheriff's Department and the
Georgia Bureau of Investigation.
The school
is on Ga. Highway 138 at Commerce Drive in north Fayette County.
