ATL School Aide Charged With Child Molestation

ATLANTA, GA — A teacher's aide at an Atlanta middle school has been arrested on charges of child molestation.

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports that Sanchez Waller, a paraprofessional at Bunche Middle School until he was put on leave last week, turned himself in to Atlanta Public Schools police and was taken to Fulton County Jail.

A warrant for his arrest had been issued on Wednesday. The charges include child molestation and enticing a child for indecent purposes, the AJC reported, citing Fulton County jail records.

The records do not provide details of the charges against Waller, but say the incident allegedly happened on Jan. 12. Atlanta Public School officials told the AJC that Waller was placed on administrative leave early last week and that he now no longer works for the system.

Bunche Middle School is located on Niskey Lake Road, in west Atlanta's Ben Hill neighborhood.
