VIDEO: A Local School Teacher Is Charged With A Sex Crime, The Alleged Victim’s Mother Speaks Out

BRUCE, Miss. (WCBI)-A Bruce High School coach and history teacher is facing charges for a child sex crime. It involves him touching one of his eighth grade female students inappropriately.

On Tuesday, 41 year-old Loray Jordan Jr.  turned himself into the Bruce Police Department. He’s being charged with the gratification of lust of vulnerable person.

“To know that my baby has to go through that, and have to go walk up and down the school and look at the people, and have them think that she’s a, you know, it’s just sad, it’s really sad,” the alleged victim’s mother said.

The emotional mother said she’s living in a nightmare, and what she’s gone through over these past few weeks is something that no parent should have to experience.

“I think about how I watch the news and see in Memphis where a teacher ran off with a little girl and they still haven’t been found,” she said. “That could’ve been my child.”

We chose not to identify the mom for this story to protect the identity of the alleged victim.

The mother said Jordan made advances towards her 14 year old daughter on the school’s campus.

She said her daughter first reported the incident to the school in March.  However, nothing was done until an anonymous tip came in last week.

“I feel like that if any child comes to you with a situation like that you should look into it regardless, just check into it, and the school didn’t do that,” she said.

Bruce police tell WCBI, Child Protective Services received an anonymous tip last Wednesday.

Investigators interviewed the alleged victim, along with her mother and grandmother.

The family members said they still don’t know who called in with the anonymous tip, but they’re grateful.

“I’m a lot upset and just don’t know which way to turn because if you can’t get help at the school from the principal and everybody else, where do you get help,” the alleged victim’s mother said.

The Calhoun County mom has some advice for parents who maybe in a similar situation.

“Just listen,” the mother said. “Listen to your child, take further action, do what you have to do, push the issue. If the school don’t want to help go farther. Just keep going until somebody do something about it and hear you. Because, just let them, let them stay a child as long as their a child.”

WCBI reached out to Calhoun County Schools Superintendent Mike Moore for a comment on this incident.

He still hasn’t gotten back with us.

A probable cause hearing must be held for Jordan to determine if a warrant for his arrest should be issued. A date for that hearing has not been set.
