Quentin Wright In Custody: Georgia Teacher Jailed For Allowing Sex Among Middle Schoolers


After Quentin Wright was fired from his job, he was taken into police custody. The Champion Theme Middle School teacher from Stone Mountain, Georgia, was arrested Tuesday for exchanging improper text messages with a student. Additionally, DeKalb County investigators say Wright allowed students to have sex in a classroom, according to a WHOTV news report.

Wright, 25, came under suspicion by the parent of a student whose child attends the school. Sources say she found a series of messages on her 14-year-old son’s mobile phone. Some of the messages were about specific times the teacher allowed students to have sex in the storage room, other teachers’ schedules, and even a request from the student to purchase a box of condoms with a promise to pay him back. The parent spoke to local reporters about the discovery. She asked to remain anonymous.

“I was in a state of disbelief when I read all these messages. Basically he’s allowing the students to have sex in a storage room in his classroom. Basically he’s allowing the students to have sex in a storage room of his classroom.

“He told my son, ‘You can have it from 7:30 to like 8:30. Did you tell the girl what’s going to happen? That she cannot tell anybody?’ — basically don’t tell anyone I’m allowing you to use my room.”

The teacher was fired after a formal complaint was lodged with the school. And after an investigation, a judge signed a warrant for his arrest. Quentin Wright was taken into custody by police without incident.

The parent said Wright gave her an uneasy feeling in the past. She recalls a time when the Georgia teacher made a somewhat strange request.

“He called me when the kids are at their eighth-grade prom and asked if he could come over and take pictures with the boys before the prom. I said no. It’s very sickening and disheartening because we trust administrators and educators when we drop our kids off at school.”

In early May, Krista Morton, the principal of Mavericks High School in Palm Springs was arrested after police busted her in the backseat of a car with one of her male students, according to previous Inquisitr reporting. Initially, the partially-clothed woman tried to say she and the male were friends. Then she told North Palm Beach police she picked him up because she was “lonely.” The student confessed to cops. Allegedly, she was smoking marijuana and making out with the teen.

Now that Quentin Wright is in custody, he faces four counts of contributing to the delinquency of juveniles.
