MURRAY, Ky. (AP) - Police in western Kentucky have arrested a student teacher on charges he had sexual relations with a Calloway County High School student.
The Murray Ledger & Times reports that John "Drew" Millwood, 24, is charged with first-degree sexual abuse.
The Calloway County Sheriff's Department says Millwood attends Murray State University and was working as a student teacher.
The Sheriff's Department says Millwood met a female student under the age of 18 after school and drove her to a location in the county where they had sexual intercourse. Millwood was being held in the Calloway County Jail without bond.
The age of consent in Kentucky is 16, but it is illegal for a person in a position of authority to have sexual contact with a minor.
