COLUMBUS, GA (WTVM) -
Muscogee County teacher Cristina Preston officially resigned from her position as a special education teacher at Veterans Memorial Middle School.

The alleged victim also attends Veterans Middle School.
Muscogee County School Superintendent Susan Andrews held a press conference Wednesday, "When we have an allegation like this, it is a shock to parents. It's a shock to students and administrators. It's a reminder to all of us our obligation to our students and our community. "
Andrews says that Veterans Memorial Middle School Principal Melanie Knight held a faculty meeting Wednesday morning to lett teachers know about the situation. Administrators have been meeting with students in groups throughout the day.
