Former Conroe ISD football standout and district paraprofessional KeSean Carter was arrested on suspicion of sexual assault of a child.
Carter, 24 of Willis, was being held in Montgomery County Jail on no bond.
According to an email from Oak Ridge High School Principal Shawn Almond to parents, Carter worked as a substitute teacher from January through May and as a paraprofessional from Aug. 21 to Sept. 16, when he was suspended while the Conroe Police Department investigated allegations against him.
Carter was fired Wednesday.
"Protection of our students is one of our highest priorities," Conroe ISD Board President Skeeter Hubert said. "There is zero tolerance and no sympathy for behavior of this kind. CISD PD initiated and led the investigation, and we will support a full prosecution. Our deepest condolences go out to any victims."
Hubert called the allegations "devastating" but said he was thankful the Conroe ISD Police Department moved quickly with the investigation.
Ligon said his office would continue to investigate the allegations.
"Our office will provide the enhanced investigative abilities that we have through the ICAC multi-agency approach to a successful prosecution of this case," Montgomery County District Attorney Brett Ligon said. "The (Internet Crimes Against Children) prosecutors and investigators are eager to present this case to a jury here in Montgomery County."
Details of the allegations were not available.
“The alleged actions of this individual do not reflect the professionalism and care exhibited by War Eagle staff who strive to provide our students with a quality education,” Almond stated.
"Our community continues to send a very consistent message that they want the resources they provide law enforcement to be used to protect the most vulnerable and the least capable of protecting themselves, our kids," Ligon said. "CISD PD does a great job with that as is seen in this case."
According to a previous Courier article, Carter played football for Willis High School but transferred to The Woodlands before his freshman year because of differences with coaches. He had 1,565 receiving yards and 30 receiving touchdowns combined his last two seasons as an all-state performer for the Highlanders.
He twice won the Class 6A state title in the 100-meter dash, posting 10.2 seconds as a senior.
Carter graduated in 2018, committed to Texas Tech, and played three seasons for the Red Raiders, catching 83 passes for 831 yards and seven touchdowns, before transferring to Houston.
He played two seasons as a Cougar. In his senior year last season, he played all 13 games, making 10 starts, and finished second on the team in receiving yards (601), third in receptions (38), and third in receiving touchdowns (5).
Carter entered the National Football League draft in 2023 but was not selected.
