GULFPORT, Miss. (AP) - Officials say a Gulfport middle school
teacher and basketball coach has been suspended following her
arrest on sex charges, including a 14-year-old girl.
Catryna L. Martin was a teacher at North Gulfport Middle School.

arrested Friday and suspended. He also said Martin will be fired
from her posts and can appeal the firing to the school board.
Martin was charged with one count each of sexual battery and
molestation. She's accused of committing the crimes while tutoring
the former student.
Martin was taken to the Harrison County jail. Bond has been set
at $1 million.

I always thought there was something fishy about some of these basketball coaches. Pink Floyd is right, “hey teachers leave them kids alone"and the old “16 will get you 20” says it best.
