RINGGOLD, Ga. – The first-grade teacher for two of the alleged victims in a child molestation case testified today that she never saw any abnormal behavior in the children.
Kimberly Parvin, who formerly taught at Chickamauga Elementary School, took the stand this morning in the trial for Tonya Craft.
Ms. Craft is a former Chickamauga Elementary teacher charged with 22 counts of child molestation, aggravated sexual battery and aggravated child molestation. The charges involve three children.
With a quiet voice, Ms. Parvin talked about the first alleged victim, who was in her class in the 2006-07 school year, and the second alleged victim, who was in her 2008-09 class.
Ms. Parvin testified that she required the children to keep a journal in both classes. The first child was very personal in her journal, writing down her feelings, she said, but the child never mentioned Ms. Craft in the journal.
