A Memphis area middle school teacher was arrested Tuesday and charged with child exploitation.
The Southaven Police Department says they received a complaint on Monday regarding inappropriate comments made to a student by 35-year-old Stephen Tyler Hart. Hart was employed at DeSoto Central Middle School and is listed on the school’s website as the assistant band director.
DeSoto Central Middle School is located just across the Tennessee border from Memphis in Southhaven, Mississippi.
A press release from law enforcement did not provide any additional details on the situation. Hart was arrested and charged with two counts of child exploitation.
Following the arrest, school officials released a statement saying, “He is no longer an employee of DeSoto County Schools.”
Police will continue with their investigation. Hart is scheduled to appear in court on February 26.
