MILLERSVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — Today, a White House Middle School teacher’s aide was arrested for statutory rape.
Shaundra F. Cartwright, who was 42 years old and worked at White House Middle School, had a bad relationship with a male student. When the relationship started, he was 15 years old.
Millersville Police say that the two started having sexual encounters when Cartwright started talking to the student on Snapchat two years ago.
Detectives from the MPD first looked into the case when a worried relative of the now-17-year-old contacted them.
When the police looked into it more, they found that Cartwright and the student had done inappropriate sexual acts about 15 times before they were found. In August 2022, detectives from the MPD brought this case to the attention of the Sumner County Grand Jury.
Police said that Cartwright was charged with statutory rape by an authority figure and continuous sexual abuse of a child in sealed indictments. Cartwright was arrested and brought to the Sumner County Jail on Tuesday.
