Overview
- Stephen Strawn, a 50-year-old band teacher at First Baptist Academy, was booked into the Bexar County jail Thursday on child indecency and child grooming charges.
- A judge set a combined bond at $125,000, and jail records show Strawn has since bonded out of custody.
- An affidavit and a police briefing say the case involves a 13-year-old student, unauthorized private lessons, uniform fittings with measuring tape that involved sexual contact, eBay purchases of risqué clothing, and photos taken during a meeting not approved by the school.
- Child Protective Services visited the campus on March 16 after a report, and the school placed Strawn on administrative leave and says it is cooperating with police and CPS.
- Detectives say they have sufficient evidence to support the charges and are seeking other potential victims or tips at carmona@ucpdtx.org as the investigation continues.
