CARROLL COUNTY, Ga. – Authorities arrested a 30-year-old full-time Villa Rica High School counselor for having sex with a student and engaging in inappropriate relationships with other students. Alonzo Wyatt faces charges of criminal attempt and six counts of improper sexual contact by a school employee.
The Carroll County School District reported the allegations to the Villa Rica Police Department on February 16, 2024. The investigation uncovered that he had sexual contact with a student on several occasions.
Police also learned that he made inappropriate comments, groped, and solicited two additional students for sex during counseling sessions.
A Villa Rica Police Department spokesperson said, “This investigation revealed a pattern of predatory behavior by Mr. Wyatt. He was in a position of trust at the school, and students depended on him for assistance, advice, and safety.
Mr. Wyatt clearly and continuously broke that trust and preyed on the students that he was in charge of supervising and assisting. This case has taken some time to investigate due to all the complex digital cell phone evidence and numerous victims and witnesses.”
This case is pending in court.
