Police in Maryland are appealing for more victims to come forward after they arrested a 31-year-old former middle student teacher over months of sexual abuse against a 14-year-old boy.<\/p>\n
Melissa Marie Curtis turned herself in to Montgomery County Police this morning after a warrant was issued for her arrest on multiple counts of sexual abuse.<\/p>\n
The former Montgomery Village Middle School teacher had sex with the eighth-grader at least 20 times, both at her home in and at his in 2015 according to charging documents.<\/p>\n
She allegedly gave him oral sex in a classroom at the school in Watkins Mill Road, abused him at a nearby movie theatre and had sex in both the bedroom and living room of her mother’s house in Germantown.<\/p>\n
‘The incidents continued for several months while the victim was a student at Montgomery Village Middle School, and Curtis was a teacher at the same school,’ Montgomery County Police said in a statement.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Melissa Marie Curtis allegedly conducted a four-month campaign of sexual abuse against an eighth-grade pupil when she was 22 and he was 14<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The former middle school teacher allegedly performed oral sex on her victim in a classroom at\u00a0Montgomery Village Middle School in Maryland<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Investigators fear she may have claimed more victims when she moved to Lakelands Park Middle School in the nearby DC suburb\u00a0<\/p>\n
‘All of the incidents took place within Montgomery County.<\/p>\n
‘Detectives suspect that there may be additional victims and would like to speak with them.’<\/p>\n
Curtis of Upper Marlboro had been a teacher at the middle school for two years before the abuse began in January 2015 when she was 22.<\/p>\n
She gave the boy alcohol and marijuana, and also encouraged him to perform oral sex on her before the abuse ended in May of that year.<\/p>\n
She later moved to Lakelands Park Middle School in a nearby DC suburb, but a spokesperson for Montgomery County Public Schools said Curtis has not been employed with the district since 2017.<\/p>\n
Police began their investigation early last month when the boy who is now an adult came forward with the allegations.<\/p>\n
She is charged with sexual abuse of a minor and multiple counts of third and fourth-degree sexual offenses, and is being held on bond ahead of her first court appearance.<\/p>\n
