A former Ogden junior high school teacher has been arrested for allegedly committing sexual offenses with girls he met through his position as a teacher.
Drew Tutt, 28, was arrested Monday for allegedly enticing several minor female victims to send him nude photos and engaging in sexual conduct with at least two students, a news release from the Weber County Sheriff's Office said.
Tutt met the alleged victims through his position as a teacher at Mound Fort Junior High School in Ogden, the news release said
Tutt was booked into the Weber County jail on suspicion of aggravated sexual abuse of a child, a first-degree felony; sexual abuse of a minor, a third-degree felony; two counts of enticing a minor, a third-degree felony; and two counts of unlawful detention, a class B misdemeanor, the release said.
The investigation began after a patrol deputy found Tutt and a girl in a park after hours in October, the release said. While the officer didn't witness any criminal behavior, he believed the situation warranted further investigation and he passed the information on to sheriff's detectives, the release said.
Officers believe there may be more victims, and ask anyone with information on similar incidents to contact dispatch at 801-395-8221.
Tutt resigned Oct. 10, the same day Ogden School District learned of the allegations.
