JONESBORO, Ga. (AP) - Authorities say they arrested a Stone Mountain Middle School teacher when he was about to have sex with a 15-year-old student.
The 29-year-old teacher, Charles Thomas McClendon, was being held in the Clayton County jail charged with child molestation and enticing a child for indecent purposes.
Jonesboro Mayor Tim Jessup said an officer was patrolling when he spotted two people in the back seat of a pickup truck parked behind a restaurant around 2:30 a.m. Thursday.
Police said as the officer pulled up, McClendon tossed a condom, jumped out of the truck and pulled on his pants,
McClendon, of Decatur, initially told police the student was his girlfriend, but later admitted she attended the school where he teaches.

Please do an edit of a story before posting it. The title says “Teen” but the story says a 5-year old girl. I was horrified that a child that young would be vulnerable at that time of night. It was not until I read another comment that I realized the 5 was supposed to be 15
so what is a 15 year old doing out at 2:30am where are the parents?!? why did they not know where she was and who she is with?
