A former high school teacher in Texas is behind bars after authorities say he had an inappropriate relationship with a student and also possessed child porn.
Grant Tozer, 26, was arrested Tuesday by the Montgomery County Precinct 5 Constable’s Office after an investigation found that he was allegedly involved in an improper relationship while he was a teacher at Magnolia High School, Fox 26 Houston reported.
Tozer resigned from the district after the complaint was made and was said to have been taken into custody “without incident” on Tuesday.
In addition to a charge related to his improper relationship with the student, Tozer was also charged with two counts of possessing child porn, Click 2 Houston reported.
“The Precinct 5 Constable’s Department will continue to work closely with the Magnolia Independent School District and the Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force to protect our children and keep MISD schools safe,” Constable Chris Jones said in a press statement.
“If you have information regarding these types of crimes please call our office.”
