An Alabama teacher, who is also a former foster parent, is facing charges after sexually abusing a young child who was in his care at the time, according to the local sheriff's office.
The victim, whose exact age has not been released, was not a student at Hillcrest High School where Kramarczyk worked at the time of his arrest. Edward Stanley Kramarczyk, a 53-year-old high school teacher in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, was arrested on September 28 by the Tuscaloosa County Sheriff’s Office on sexual abuse charges, the sheriff's office said.on Sunday to TCSO for comment. Jail records did not list an attorney for Kramarczyk as of Sunday night who could speak on his behalf.
TCSS Superintendent Keri C. Johnson issued a statement to Hillcrest students and staff, which was obtained by local station WVTM 13. Johnson said TCSS is aware of the criminal investigation and identified Kramarczyk as a career technical education teacher. She said in the statement he is"new to the system" as of this year. The superintendent did not say if he had been placed on leave. Newsweek reached out via email on Sunday to TCSS for comment and additional information.
