CARTERVILLE, Ill. — A faculty member at a Carterville, Ill. school has been arrested and faces charges of sexual assault and abuse, according to KFVS12.
The arrest strikes at the thing parents fear most: that the adult trusted to watch their kids in a classroom is the one who did them harm. KFVS12 did not report additional details on the specific school, the charges' full scope, or the defendant's identity in what was made available to this bureau.
This is a developing case. The American Times Press will update this story as charges and court proceedings become public.
