Thomas Hayden McDonald
A teacher at the Seventhday Adventist Academy in Gentry was arrested Thursday on suspicion of having sexual contact with a student.
Thomas Hayden McDonald, 24, was arrested for sexual assault in the second degree, a class B felony, which is punishable with a prison sentence ranging from five to 20 years.
McDonald was also a coach at the school, according to a press release from the Gentry Police Department.
According to an affidavit of probable cause in the case, Gentry police officer Rick Lane responded to a sexual-assault complaint Wednesday from the academy's vice principal.
Toakase Vunileva reported that a female student had approached a staff member about another student who had been sexually involved with a teacher, whom the student identified as McDonald, according to court documents.
The affidavit reports Vunileva and the academy's principal met with McDonald, who said some inappropriate action had taken place in his office.
