Female Teacher Kissed and Fondled Young Girl

(Augusta County, Virginia) Last July, 49-year-old former music teacher at Beverley Manor Middle School, Shelby Sue Shelton, was arrested and charged with carnal knowledge of a minor and taking indecent liberties with a child. Shelton had been accused of having sex on multiple occasions in the 1990s with a former female student who was 13 and 14 years old at the time.

Last Thursday, Shelton was found guilty by a judge of sexually abusing the young teen girl. The prosecutor described Shelton as a ravenous sexual predator who kissed and fondled the young girl on at least 100 occasions. Sentencing on the Shelton case wasn't disclosed.
