Heather Frazier, a former Clarksville-Montgomery County school teacher, has been indicted on multiple counts of sexual battery by an authoritative figure.

This is the third arrest in two years involving sexual crimes against minors from suspects who have been employed at Clarksville’s Northeast High School.

Grand jurors in the circuit court for Montgomery County’s 19th Judicial District handed down an eight-count indictment this month finding Frazier had sexual contact with a young teenager she knew and that the child did not consent to the contact.

The alleged activity took place between Aug. 1, 2020 and May 17, 2021, according to court records.

The indictment also said at the time of the offense, Frazier had parental or custodial authority over the victim and used her authority to accomplish the sexual contact.

Frazier, 38, has served as a virtual school teacher in CMCSS, according to the district’s chief communications officer Anthony Johnson.

“She had been at Northeast High since 2016 before being selected to teach at the virtual school this year,” Johnson noted in an email. “CMCSS placed Ms. Frazier on alternative worksite after being notified of the investigation.”

Based on the information shared with CMCSS, the investigation is not related to her position as a teacher in the school district, according to Johnson.

Frazier was arrested on Wednesday, Dec. 22 and booked into the Montgomery County Jail. She is facing four charges of sexual battery and four charges of sexual battery by an authority figure and forcible fondling.

Frazier was released from jail the same day on a $15,000 bond.

In September, former Northeast High School math teacher Liliana Alvarez, 46, was indicted for sexual battery against a minor. The alleged incident took place between November 2019 and June 23, 2020.

In November 2019, Clarksville police charged former Northeast High School nurse Leon Burnett Hensley, of Clarksville, with sexual exploitation of a minor.

Hensley is facing federal charges of child pornography, stemming from photos investigators said were taken from the private student bathroom in the nurse’s station at Northeast High School.
