Police in Georgia say Quentin Wright is in custody. On Tuesday, the popular teacher at The Champion School in Stone Mountain was arrested and charged with inappropriate text messages and conduct with students. Wright was also jailed for allegedly allowing students to have sex in a classroom storage room where he even provided condoms, citing a WPTV news update.
Wright, 25, was investigated after a parent allegedly found some disturbing text messages on her child’s phone. DeKalb County police say when the woman found the texts on her 14-year-old son’s mobile phone, she contacted the school and police.
An arrest warrant was issued for Wright, who was booked on several misdemeanor charges. He was also fired from his teaching role at the Georgia school. A spokesperson with the school district said that the communication with the minor student was against policy. In short, he was terminated and accused of “inappropriate conduct and communications of a sexual nature with students.”

The probe of Wright also revealed that the teacher authorized students to have sexual intercourse at the school. Additionally, he provided them with contraceptives, namely condoms, investigators allege. After Quentin Wright was placed into police custody, his mother, Joyce, blasted the allegations that her son had anything to do with the disturbing charges.
“They’re trying to ruin his career as an educator. I am very hurt and very upset that this whole thing has come out. He said, ‘Mom, there is no way, no way I would do anything like that.’ He is very upset about it, he’s very upset, because he cared a lot.”
Wright’s mom said she believes her son. Moreover, she claims the allegations don’t fit who her son is and likely will be dismissed.
“He loved his students he would never do anything to harm his students. If you had asked any of the students how Mr. Wright has loved them, cared for them and been a good teacher, a good mentor, they would all say he was a great teacher.”
The news of the Champion school teacher’s arrest comes on the heels of another educator-related arrest. In early May, a principal was caught in a vehicle with one of her students in North Palm Beach. Apparently, Krista Morton was busted by police in a parking lot smoking weed. A report said she was “partially-clothed” at the time. Morton was suspended after her arrest.
After Quentin Wright was put into custody of police, he was booked with four counts of contributing to the delinquency of a minor.

Mom thinks this happened to him because he is black.
The mother should be arrested too. If she thought that he was a good teacher. Since she taught him about life. Well, I guess you could say he was a good teacher if he was teaching sex education.
Funny….I didn't see her say anything of the sort. I took her statement to mean the students or some faction are out to get the guy. I guess my white ass just doesn't have the ability to read between the lines as your obviously advanced intellect is capable of.
IF he is guilty he deserves what he gets. What is most bothersome to me is the frequency we read about teachers making bad decisions concerning children. Outside of the parents, teachers are probably the most influential people in our children's lives. Scary stuff!

These things are tricky. I had a friend who taught middle school and was a strict teacher. Three girls disliked him, went home and told their fathers he was giving them "explicit sexual information". They wanted him fired on the spot.
The principal called in other students in their class as they said it happened in the classroom. The other kids said that the girls had tried to get them to back up their lies to get him fired, but the teacher was well liked. They told the fathers that their daughters were liars. Nothing a dad likes more than to go down to a school and have thirteen year olds tell him that he has had the wool pulled over his eyes by his conniving, lying daughter.
You cannot have a knee-jump reaction to these things. Kids have their own agendas. Teacher may be innocent or not. It needs a thorough investigation.
These perverts often lead a double life …. and that is usually their cover. "Upstanding moral citizens that care so much for everyone" Angers me on so many levels when these people including women are convicted of such crimes. No he hasn't been convicted …. sounds like they had a lot to go on to at least suspend him. Disgusting.
Don't jump to conclusions. High school kids often make up lies about teachers or they get misinformation. A parent thought I was sleeping with an eighteen year old construction worker when I was in my thirties. The story went that my mother caught us and was making us get married. I pointed out that Mom had been dead for over ten years and didn't have much to say anymore about anything.
We found out that the parent's daughters had been talking about a senior girl and she thought they were talking about me. She was highly embarrassed and apologized.
Tim Smith It happens a lot. Kids know how to get rid of a teacher in return for his catching them cheating or failing them for not doing any work.
Two of my nephews are teachers….and the stories they tell me about manipulative kids and their even more manipulative parents….it's a wonder any upstanding individual wants to be in a classroom anymore.

That's my point exactly, Cat
at least he gave them rubbers!! HAHA
Right mom, somebody stole his cell phone and made the texts. Sounds reasonable right?
It's an upward trend that includes far more than teachers.
he was teaching an advanced course in "Applied Sex Education"
Lock up this piece of trash an throw away the key..
And people wonder why more parents are homeschooling. Every mom thinks their son is innocent. Evidently the texts said different.
Lack of parental involvement with their children does not allow them to attach blame for their shortcomings to teachers!
This seems to be different than what you said, though.
David E. McKenna , this crime, if it happened, is not to be laid on the parents. If this man did this, it is his responsibility and his alone.
I stopped substitute teaching in the 90s. You couldn't pay me enough to teach now, and I mean that.
There is a growing fascination and obsession with the sexualizing of children/involving them in or viewing them taking part in sexual activity. When my grandson starts kindergarten both his mother, father, and myself will be involved in the school and will get to know the teachers. There are ways to work into casual conversation that you are aware that these problems exist and that you have made your child aware of what is permissible. That said, even if a child know that is proper and improper, they may still be victimized by what seems to be a growing number of perverts and pedophiles, and it's scary and sad.
Dennis Elwell , definitely and it's scary and sick.
His mom is not responsible for his actions.
Cat StClair , good grief!
How is your comment funny? Moronic.
Another case of liberalism gone awry. Unless you have half a rock for brain, it's obvious that liberalism creates most of our societal problems.
Wouldn't surprise me one danged bit, I mean, after all, look who and what he is! If they aren't breeding they are committing crimes! It is what it is! Oh yeah, now comes the 'racist' accusations – instead of blaming ME for what this POS did, blame where it belongs – on the negro race!
Wow. I'm sorry you've never met any upstanding, professional, successful Black people. But then again with you attitude, I'm sure they wouldn't want to meet you.
One word…animals.
Gail, sit on 'it' and spin, toots. I don't give a rat's patootie what you think about anything so just STFU!! You are a loser and failed race, admit it, everyone else knows it and so do YOU, you just don't like to admit it but prefer being in denial and making excuses in order to blame everyone but the culprits!!! YOU and your kind!
Public schools need to be close down.
Are you actually a high school student? I get the feeling that you aren't, I hope you aren't a teacher anyway. I've been in the military and met a great many people of all races and religions when serving and I traveled around quite a bit after getting out of the military and met quite a few people that way also. Now, I was raised in Fayetteville, NC and my father was a virulent bigot, my mother was bigoted also but not to the extent my father was and all three of my siblings are bigots also to one extent or another, I don't really know why I didn't come out that way. I'm not religious and I don't really like most people as individuals be they white black brown or otherwise, and that's because so many people are just so damned willfully ignorant about the world at large. If one despises an entire group of people then it is probable that a positive experience is going to be missed and one's life will be the poorer for that reason. Also, hurling epithets at others does not win an argument nor make a point more valid, it merely makes the one resorting to those tactics look weak and foolish. Oh, and just to let you know, I don't bother reading replies because, like you, I don't give a furry rodent's posterior for your opinion either.
You're moronic for posting in a public forum on a story like this with your child and your main picture. Simpleton.
FEANOR: Really? Nope, not a high school student, graduated at the ripe old age of 16. Lived abroad 5.5 years, traveled into 16 COUNTRIES, one being Egypt. MILITARY? Must have been a short hitch! Everywhere I went where there was a population of negro's, they had the same or similar problems. It goes with the race. Even in Africa, Haiti, Nigeria, there are problems. They deliberately become 'victim's" so the white man will (hopefully) feel guilty then they get what they want – free!. Your parents were NOT bigoted – they just saw negro's as they ARE in real life and their rotten life style and lack of priorities! They saw the crime, the laziness, the welfare rats breeding like sewer rats and producing more welfare rug rats, in other words, FEANOR, they called it like it is! I've been around a long time, have been burglarized by NEGRO'S that I was HELPING and the worthless POS robbed my home in excess of $7000 theft and damage. What they couldn't carry OUT they deliberately destroyed! THEIR way of saying 'thank you' for your help. Today, because of my 'experiences' with negro's, and I was raised in the south and around negro's my entire life, too, I wouldn't give one water if they were on fire! You can't tell the 'good' ones from the bad because there are too many disgusting, pathetic criminals, and bad ones that overshadow any 'good' ones. YOU are a POLLY ANNA and ripe for the picking! They will see you coming from a mile away! Wait and see! You decide to attack me even though I've dissertation of any kind with you – but you come at me to insult as did GAIL ANDERSON – ALL based on my opinion that YOU disagreed with – and that makes YOU, bubba, and much bigger bigot than I ever thought about being. You are a bigot, a phony, and really rather stupid in spite of your alleged 'education' Bubba, YOU are still wet behind the ears in comparison! I've already FORGOTTEN MORE than you will EVER know! It is what it is!
BECKIE: wrong, it is to be placed on his 'parent' as well since 'she' FAILED miserably to teach him to be a moral and responsible human being. He is a despicable poor excuse for a human. To use CHILDREN for his own sexual pleasure – sick and disgusting!
It's called TNB for a reason …
Beckie Clifton why? where i'm from they get paid big bucks, work 180 days a year, wonderful pension and health care and a job for life.
and you wonder why we come out on the bottom of all the educational ratings when compared to advanced countries?
Gail Anderson they exist but are overcome with the preponderances of the trash. More's the shame.
IMMIE: Correct – what I find amusing is negro 's will NOT police their own kind, they leave it ALL to 'whitey' to take care of THEIR problems – then, they blame whitey or anyone else for their problems but they are busy producing worthless POS rug rat thug wannabe gangsta's! It's what happens when you have a crack head ho for a momma! WHEN and WHERE have you EVER seen another negro get involved in their OWN community to 'help' with the off spring of these females that produce welfare rug rats because its a 'way of life' for them? YOU NEVER SEE NEGRO'S TRYING TO TEACH RESPONSIBILITY TO THEIR MEMBERS OF JUST THEIR COMMUNITY – they turn and look the other way because its their motto – 'let someone else do it' then when it fails they can blame others! his is a 24/7 game the play! Complain, loot, riot, burn, destroy, blame everyone else but where it belongs – WITH THEM!! Like these punk thugs – they are deceased because of their OWN behavior – not mine, not yours, but THEIRS!!! It is what it is!
