Schoolteacher faces sexual assault charges

A male teacher at a north Houston Christian academy is charged with sexually assaulting a 15-year-old student, and Houston police say the man was known for touching, hugging, kissing and even laying his head in female students' laps.

Christopher Evans, 26, a former New Heights Christian Academy teacher, faces two counts of sexual assault and one of indecency with a child. New Heights Principal Richard Walters, who is Evans' father-in-law, said he did not know Evans had been arrested and already posted $90,000 in bonds on the charges Monday. Walters acknowledged, however, turning over school records relating to Evans to police.
