SHREVEPORT (AP) — Caddo Parish Sheriff Steve Prator says a 33-year-old teacher at Port City Christian Academy is accused of
raping and sexually assaulting a mentally challenged 17-year-old student.
He says Jeremy A. Pierce, of Keithville, was
arrested Wednesday at the school at Westview Christian Church and
booked on charges
of aggravated rape, sexual battery, and prohibited sexual conduct
between educator and student. His bond is $750,000. It was
not immediately known whether Pierce has an attorney.
Detective James Moore, of Youth Services Division, says Pierce allegedly touched the girl inappropriately many times on the
grounds of the school. He says Pierce allegedly used text messages to call her out of class.
