On August 24, the Tennessee Department of Children Services informed the Criminal Investigation Division at the Covington Police Department that they had received a report about the alleged rape of a youngster. They reported that the alleged sexual abuse happened between a teacher and a 12-year-old boy who used to be her student, and they believed it happened at the boy’s home.
