A teacher at Richard Allie Middle School has been arrested and accused of an improper relationship with a student in the Crowley Independent School District, school officials announced on Saturday.
The employee was arrested on multiple charges including an improper relationship between the educator and a student who does not attend Richard Allie Middle School but is a student at another Crowley ISD school.
Fort Worth police identified the teacher as Christopher David Session, 37. Session remained in the Tarrant County Jail on Monday, after he was booked early Saturday morning.
He also faces two charges of sexual assault of a child under 17, according to court records. It’s not clear whether he has obtained an attorney.
Police have not provided additional details on the investigation.
“We took immediate action and put the employee on administrative leave when we first became aware of the concern, and we are fully cooperating with the investigation that is being led by the Fort Worth Police Department,” said Michael McFarland, Crowley ISD superintendent, in a statement to district staff and families. “Due to the nature of the ongoing criminal case, we are prevented from sharing specific details. I want to assure you that investigators have found no evidence of any other students involved.”
“This is extremely upsetting to all of us, and this type of illegal behavior will not be tolerated in our community,” McFarland said. “We will continue to act like a family and work like a team in Crowley ISD. We ask for your patience as we navigate this difficult situation, and we remain grateful for your support of our students, staff and schools.”
