GWINNETT COUNTY, GA– The Gwinnett County Police Department has arrested a DeKalb County School teacher for multiple crimes against a child.
Marcus Knight, 49, Lawrenceville, was charged with aggravated child molestation, enticing a child for indecent purposes, and obscene internet contact with a child. Authorities said the 14-year-old victim was not a student of Knight.
According to the investigation, detectives assigned to the Gwinnett County Police Department Special Victims Unit were alerted on Sept. 3 about a possible adult male having sexual intercourse with a child.
The victim’s mother discovered sexually explicit conversations between the child and an unknown male and contacted 911. Detectives were able to pose as the 14-year-old and plan a meeting with the suspect. Knight arrived at the meeting location and was taken into custody without incident.
During his arrest, Knight had multiple high-level THC vape cartridges.
Knight was transported to the Gwinnett County Jail, where he is being held without bond. Additional charges might be forthcoming pending further investigation, authorities said.
Anyone who has any information to share in the case should contact GCPD detectives at 770-513-5300.
