Police search for former teacher accused of relationships with students

MARIETTA, Ga. — Two local police departments are searching for a former teacher. They say he had inappropriate relationships with a 15 and 17-year old student.

Marietta and Roswell detectives have active arrest warrants for 37-year-old Christopher Wade Brown.

The former Mount Paran Christain High School teacher is accused of having sex with a 17-year-old student. He's wanted on multiple charges to include sexual assault by a teacher.

Police told Channel 2’s Liz Artz the teen grew tired of her involvement with him and introduced him to a 15-year-old Roswell High School student, who police said he then pursued for sexual reasons.

Artz stopped by his house Friday and no one answered, but she could see where police had burst through his door.

One neighbor said he watched the whole thing play out.

“They kicked in his door and everything tried to look for him they went through his house,” said neighbor Jacob Prater.

The school sent Channel 2 Action News this statement regarding Brown:

The employment of Mr. Brown was terminated on October 4, 2016 immediately after the school learned that he had committed a violation of the standards of our Christian community. Mr. Brown was employed for one year to teach high school physics, chemistry, and computer science. The MPCS community pledges continued and full support with legal authorities as this matter is pursued. MPCS remains fully committed to a Christ-centered environment that takes very seriously its role in protecting the safety and well-being of all students.
