A Hamilton County teacher said in court Wednesday that he doesn’t know all the charges he’s facing.
Duane Sanders, the first grade teacher arrested and charged with 10 counts of child sexual abuse, appeared at a preliminary hearing before Hamilton County Criminal Court Judge Barry Steelman.
“Are you aware of the charges in your case?” Steelman asked Sanders, who appeared wearing an orange correctional jumpsuit and shackles.
“Not 100%,” Sanders responded, adding that he had not yet hired an attorney.
“You are charged with a multicount indictment including aggravated sexual battery and continuous sexual abuse of a child, aggravated rape of a child,” Steelman said. “You have been charged multiple counts on some of those charges.”
