MPS Teacher Charged with Engaging in Sex with Student

Montgomery police say they have arrested Latasia Taylor-Hunter on Monday, Feb. 6.

Police say Hunter has been charged with School Employee Engaging in Sex with a Student Under 19 Years of Age. Following her arrest, Hunter was placed in the Montgomery County Detention Facility under a $10,000 bond.

Hunter was employed as a teacher at a Montgomery-area public school. Police say the victim was a juvenile male student.

Montgomery Public Schools Superintendent, Margaret Allen, released a statement concerning the arrest:

“We are shocked and saddened by the accusation that a teacher was having an improper relationship with a student. The individual is a first year employee who only taught at one school in our system, PACE. It is our understanding that the inappropriate actions did not take place at school. As soon as we had an indication of the alleged actions, our investigators talked with the teacher. Montgomery Police were called to take over the inquiry. During the hiring process the employee had a complete background check. No red flags were raised. Student safety is our top priority. We will not tolerate adults taking advantage of our students. We will be providing the information from our investigation to the Alabama Department of Education and continue to fully cooperate with MPD.”

This is an ongoing investigation, and no additional information is available.
