A former teacher at Milton and Alpharetta high schools faces criminal charges after allegedly using the Internet to arrange sex with a minor, the FBI said.
Alvand Richard Williams, 47, allegedly traveled Monday to Ringgold, where he was arrested without incident by the FBI. Williams apparently believed he would meet the child in the northwest Georgia town.
Undercover law enforcement officials discovered Williams' attempts online, according to FBI Special Agent in Charge Brian D. Lamkin. Williams, of Roswell, has been charged with attempted aggravated assault and computer pornography, the FBI said. More details of the incident were not provided.
Williams joined the Fulton County school system in 2000, teaching English at Milton High School, according to Susan Hale, district spokeswoman. Williams transferred to Alpharetta High School for the 2009-10 school year, but lost his job during layoffs in May, Hale said.
Williams remained in the Catoosa County jail Wednesday afternoon, according to a jail spokeswoman.
