The news of a Tennessee teacher, Casey McGrath, who has been charged in connection with an inappropriate connection with a student.

Who is Casey McGrath?

Casey McGrath, a 28-year-old former math teacher from Tennessee, has been arrested and charged with statutory rape, a class D felony offense.

Casey McGrath has taught algebra at Central High School since 2020, prior to which she worked at East Ridge Middle School. Steve Doremus, spokesperson for Hamilton County Schools, has confirmed that McGrath is no longer employed as a teacher by the district.

The geometry teacher is accused of engaging in sexual activity with a minor between the ages of 13 and 18, according to the indictment, which says the offense occurred on May 1.

That is just one month after McGrath was suspended from her job at Central High School without pay on March 31, according to a county spokesperson.

What did Casey McGrath do?

McGrath is accused of having had an inappropriate relationship with a student of hers and was suspended by Hamilton County Schools on March 31, 2023, for inappropriate conduct.

Before the investigation into her conduct, Casey McGrath had been honoured as Central High School’s “Teacher of the Month” for October 2021. McGrath served as an assistant volleyball coach in addition to instructing algebra.

Currently, Casey McGrath is charged with statutory rape, a class D felony. Up to 12 years in prison could be used as punishment.

Now that the incident’s specifics are unknown, it is unknown when McGrath will next appear in court. The Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office has not released the affidavit that details the allegations against her. It is unknown at this time if she is being held in custody or where she is being housed.

What were the charges against Casey McGrath?

A former Hamilton County teacher has been arrested and charged with aggravated statutory rape, according to jail records.

Hamilton County docket records show that McGrath will be making her first court appearance on September 6 and is out on bail awaiting that hearing after her husband, Blake, posted a cash bond.

Both the affidavit from the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office outlining the accusations against the former instructor and information regarding when McGrath is scheduled to appear in court were unavailable.

McGrath is the second Hamilton County educator to be detained and accused of sexual assault this year.

Duane Sanders Jr., a former first-grade instructor at Wallace A. Elementary School, was detained and charged with 10 counts of sexually abusing children in March.
