Teacher Fingered for Fondling

(Nashville, Tennessee) A 32-year-old former substitute teacher at Gra-Mar Middle School, Erica Kentoya Bell, has been charged with engaging in unlawful sexual contact with a 13-year-old boy and his 15-year-old sister on separate occasions.

Bell faces two counts of sexual battery and four counts of official misconduct stemming from alleged fondling incidents that occurred at Gra-Mar Middle School in December 2005 and January 2006. She resigned her position with the school last January.

Bell was indicted last month after a year-long investigation and arrested. She was booked and released on $50,000 bond.
