The former Montgomery Central High School teacher who showed nude photos of himself to a 17-year-old student has been arrested on four counts of supplying obscene material to minors.
Matthew Gay Vedder, 52, was arrested Wednesday morning and booked into the Montgomery County Jail, according to MCSO arrest documents.
Vedder had admitted to Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office investigators that on March 9, he showed the student the photos of himself, according to previous reports. Vedder, who is married to Director of Schools Dr. Jean Luna-Vedder, told investigators it was an accident. The student and her family maintain it was intentional.
After new Clarksville-Montgomery County School Board member Teresa Crosslin withdrew her resignation from the board, the big question has been whether her resignation could be withdrawn, or if she would be allowed to remain a School Board member.
Crosslin had been sworn in the day before on Monday, and she resigned Monday evening, stating, “I, Teresa Crosslin, upon further consideration, am immediately resigning my position with the CMCSS School Board, District 3,” according to CMCSS
County Attorney says Crosslin can stay:
In his opinion letter, Harvey explained that under state law, the resignation must be filed with and accepted by the body that appointed Crosslin, which was the County Commission. Since the County Commission hasn’t met since her swearing-in, the commission hasn’t been able to accept the resignation. With the resignation being withdrawn, effectively nothing has happened.
The whole ordeal – joining the school board, being sworn in, resigning, missing the first meeting, then deciding to stay on – all took place in the course of a week.
Teresa Crosslin was sworn in on Monday, Nov. 17, and resigned that evening, stating, “I, Teresa Crosslin, upon further consideration, am immediately resigning my position with the CMCSS School Board, District 3,” according to CMCSS.
She did not provide a reason for resigning, according to CMCSS spokesman Anthony Johnson. She was not present at Tuesday’s School Board meeting, which was to be her first.
