"A 25-year-old woman was arrested Tuesday afternoon at Rucker-Stewart Middle School in Gallatin, after being charged with statutory rape. Devri Ann DePriest, the Band Director at Rucker- Stewart Middle School and an employee of the Sumner County school system was arrested after Gallatin police received information about an inappropriate relationship between DePriest and a student. Gallatin Police said the 17-year-old victim came to the police department Tuesday afternoon with his mother to come clean about the affair. "She has since been arrested and charged with statutory rape by an authority figure. She was arrested today at Rucker-Stewart Middle School here in Gallatin," said Gallatin Police Sergeant Bill Storment. Police said that although DePriest was arrested on school property, there is no reason to believe that anything inappropriate happened on campus. "The incidents occurred at her residence, here in Gallatin at the time, which is on Kennesaw Boulevard, in some apartment," said Sergeant Storment. Investigators believe that the relationship took place between September and November of 2010. An affidavit states that the two had sexual encounters some 20 times."
