A Bath County Middle School teacher has been charged with 1st degree sexual abuse. Police say he had a sexual relationship with a 15-year-old girl.

Darvin "Andy" Crouch was arrested Saturday after the girl's grandmother called police and said her granddaughter was possibly having a sexual relationship with a teacher.

Police say the girl's great-aunt videotaped a conversation between the teen and Crouch. They say that in the video, Crouch is seen holding the girl's hand, rubbing her arm and confessing his love for her.

Police say that Crouch admitted to having a sexual relationship with the teen. They also say that Crouch told them he did not have sex with her, but he did admit to other sexual contact, including in his classroom.

According to the Bath County Schools website, Crouch is a 7th grade social studies teacher at Bath County Middle School.

Bath County Superintendent Harvey Tackett tells WKYT Crouch has been suspended.

Tackett said in a statement, "Also, during the suspension, Mr. Crouch will be banned both from coming upon any school properties owned or used by the Bath County Board of Education and banned from attending any activities sponsored by or for the Bath County Board of Education."

He went on to say this is a situation he'll continue to monitor.

Crouch was booked into the Clark County Detention Center.
