Child Molestation [1]

A kindergarten teacher faces child molestation charges for crimes that span nearly two years.

It was Catoosa County deputies who arrested the Walker County woman.

Chickamauga Elementary School teacher Tonya Henke Craft faces four counts of child molestation and one count of aggravated sexual battery.

A Ringgold mother filed the complaint against Craft.

The woman's daughter told her Craft and another juvenile molested her at Craft's home in Chickamauga.

Sheriff Phil Summers says the crimes took place between August of 2005 and May of 2007.

Another juvenile victim is listed on the arrest report.

It states that victim was molested by the juvenile suspect.

A judge set bond for Craft at $50,000.
