A Georgia middle-school teacher has
resigned and is free on bond on charges that he handed out condoms and
kept watch while his students had sex in a storage closet, according to
court records.
A DeKalb County State
Court arrest warrant alleges that Quentin Martavious Wright, a math and
science teacher at The Champion School in the Atlanta suburb of Stone
Mountain, arranged the assignations — scheduling times when his
classroom and its storage room would be empty, providing condoms and
keeping anyone else from "entering the classroom while the minor
children were engaging in this delinquent conduct."
The warrant says that by
doing so, Wright, 25, of Decatur, facilitated a minor child in "the
offense of statutory rape, a delinquent act." The alleged encounters
occurred between Nov. 14, 2014, and last week, according to the court
documents.
Wright was arrested
Tuesday night and released on $1,000 bond on four misdemeanor counts of
contributing to the delinquency of a minor, court records show. The
records don't list an attorney for Wright.
The investigation was first reported Tuesday night by WSB-TV of Atlanta. Quinn Hudson, a spokesman for the DeKalb County Public Schools, told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
that Wright resigned rather than be fired. He told the newspaper that
the school district had been apprised of text messages that "strongly
suggested" that Wright was allowing students to have sex in his
classroom.
"We are continuing our
investigation of the matter, and we're also working with the district
attorney's office in DeKalb County," he said.
