An employee of Bowling Green city schools has resigned following allegations of sexual assault involving a teenage boy. Houston Bunton is charged with sexual abuse and sodomy.
The 24-year-old was a teacher’s aide and the assistant girls basketball coach at Bowling Green High School. The alleged misconduct involved a 15-year-old boy who was a student at the school. The student told police he was sexually assaulted at Bunton’s house over Thanksgiving weekend.
According to the arrest citation, Bunton admitted to police that he inappropriately touched the boy.
Bunton has been employed by the school district for the past two years. Superintendent Gary Fields says his record was clean.
"As with all employees, we do background checks, and there was nothing that led us to believe there were any issues moving forward with his employment," Fields told WKU Public Radio.
Investigators say they don’t know at this point if there are other possible victims. The school system continues to work with Bowling Green police.
