Craft back on the stand this afternoon

Defense attorneys this afternoon will continue questioning the former kindergarten teacher charged with child molestation.

Tonya Craft, a former Chickamauga Elementary School teacher, is charged with 22 counts of child molestation, aggravated sexual battery and aggravated child molestation. The alleged victims in the case are three girls.

In testimony this morning, Ms. Craft went into detail about how she heard that something inappropriate was going on with one of the three girls. She said she set an interview with a social worker.

But before the interview could take place, detectives visited Ms. Craft and said another parent was accusing her of inappropriately touching a child, she testified.
