CANTON, Ga. — A teacher at King’s Ridge Christian School in Milton has been charged with sexual battery of a minor, after he allegedly touched the buttocks of a 12-year-old girl at a Walmart in Canton.
King’s Ridge immediately placed Kyle George, a 43-year-old Canton resident, on administrative leave upon learning of his felony arrest and later fired him. The incident happened in late August, according to the Sept. 25 warrant.
“This situation is heartbreaking, and we are praying for everyone involved,” said Edward Spurka, head of school at King’s Ridge, in a statement sent to Appen Media.
Before becoming a teacher at King’s Ridge, George taught at Centennial Academy – a charter school in Atlanta – as an elementary school teacher, according to his LinkedIn profile. Centennial Academy could not be reached for comment regarding the nature of George’s exit from the school as of press time.
George signed his bond release form Sept. 26, which mandates that he not have any contact whatsoever with any minor except for his own children, stay at least 1,000 feet away from any school and not be present at Walmart.
