Band teacher is 41. She is in the eighth grade.
September 6, 2008 - James Ciammetti, 41, a band teacher at George Rogers Clark Middle School, was arrested for allegedly having sex with one of his 14-year-old students repeatedly at the school over a 10-month period.
He was charged Friday with five felonies -- two counts of child molesting, two counts of sexual misconduct with a minor and one count of child solicitation.
His alleged activities were discovered by the girl's father, who was using a computer program that tracks his children's activities on the family's computers.He was suspended WITHOUT pay because of the "seriousness of the situation."
Ciammetti and the girl had traded more than 1,100 e-mails, most of them sexual or obscene in nature, prosecutors said. He had been the girl's band teacher since sixth grade.
The NeighborhoodStar (September 6) reports that Ciammetti "repeatedly had sex with a female student while she was 13 and 14 years old."
In an interview Sept. 3, the girl - an eighth-grader who has taken band classes with Ciammetti since sixth grade - said the two performed oral sex on one another and had sex in the band room and band storage room, according to an affidavit filed by Hammond police.Ciammetti "always told her that he loved her," the girl is quoted in court records as saying. He told the girl they would get married and have children together when they got older, according to court records.
She said they had sex at least 10 times between April and the first day of this school year, with Ciammetti using a condom, police said.
