A teacher at Huguenot High School has been charged with sexually assaulting an underage male student attending the school, according to Richmond police.

Courtney B. Stewart, 24, of the 3600 block of West Broad Street, has been charged with two counts of taking indecent liberties while in a supervisory role; both are felonies.

Stewart was arrested Thursday, police said. She has been released, according to jail records.

According to Huguenot High School’s website, Stewart is an exceptional-education teacher. It is unclear whether the student was in her class.

Cletisha Lovelace, a spokeswoman for Richmond Public Schools, said Stewart has been suspended without pay pending the outcome of the investigation. Stewart was hired at the start of the 2015-16 school year, Lovelace said.

Court records show the first alleged assault occurred between Nov. 24, 2015, and Dec. 24, 2015, and the second happened sometime last month. The alleged victim was the same in both cases, the records said.

Detectives are investigating whether there may be additional victims.
