The abuse is said to have continued for several months when Curtis was 22. The victim, now an adult, came forward in early October, prompting an investigation into the former teacher. Police did not provide details of the alleged abuse but believe that there may be additional victims. Curtis had been employed by the Montgomery School District for two years and also taught at Lakelands Park Middle School. The incidents all took place within Montgomery County. A warrant for Curtis’ arrest was issued on October 31 on charges of sexual abuse of a minor and multiple counts of third- and fourth-degree sexual offenses. Curtis turned herself in on Tuesday morning. Detectives are urging potential victims to contact them at 240-773-5400.
