Tommy Andrews
Deputies arrested Tommy Andrews, 41, on Sunday and charged him with one count of aggravated statutory rape and one count of aggravated statutory rape by an authority figure.
Grundy County Sheriff Clint Shrum says, “We received a complaint last week and we presented the case to the district attorney’s office before charges were filed”.
Shrum says during the process of his department’s investigation his officers learned a complaint was made to the Department of Children’s Services about Andrews on May 7.
New Grundy County Director of Schools Jessie Kinsey said in a released statement. “An employee of the Grundy County Schools has been charged with criminal activity against one of our students. Of course, this person is presumed innocent until he is proven guilty in a court of law.
“We are offering counseling to the student, and we stand ready to cooperate with law enforcement officials as necessary.
Andrews has been released from jail on a $60,000 bond. As part of the conditions of his bond, Andrews must wear a GPS monitoring device to ensure he stays away from the victim in the case.
