MERAUX, La. (AP) - A student teacher at a St. Bernard Parish elementary school has been accused of inappropriately touching a student.
Local news outlets report that St. Bernard Parish sheriff’s deputies say 24-year-old Remy Ferrell was arrested Thursday and charged with one count of felony sexual battery after several parents expressed concerns.
Ferrell has been a student teacher since August at Joseph Davies Elementary in Meraux.
Sheriff James Pohlmann says Ferrell is accused of touching a student on the outside of their clothing. Pohlmann says there could be more victims resulting in additional charges.
It’s unclear if Ferrell has an attorney.
