from www.wsbradio.com – A Gwinnett County Sunday School teacher has been arrested for allegedly having sex with one of his students.
James Benjamin Harris [pictured], 33 of Lawrenceville, was booked into the Gwinnett County jail Tuesday night without bond.
Police told the Gwinnett Daily Post Harris met the student, now 14, three years ago at Brookwood Baptist Church near Lawrenceville. The student’s parents told police the student-teacher relationship increased in recent months.
The boy’s mother said Harris sent her son explicit text messages on a cell phone Harris gave him as a Christmas gift. The two also went on trips together, police said.
Gwinnett County jail records show Harris faces six felony counts of child molestation and one felony charge of enticing a child for indecent purposes.
