JASPER COUNTY, Miss. ( WHLT ) – A former Jasper County teacher has been charged with three counts of sexual battery involving a minor.

Jasper County deputies said Joe Michael Sanchez was arrested on July 12, 2024. They said an investigation into Sanchez began after they received a complaint from a teenager and their mother.

According to investigators, they found evidence to support the claims.

Jasper County deputies said the minor was not a family member of Sanchez, and the acts happened off of school grounds.

Sanchez’s bond was set at $175,000, and he bonded out of jail on Wednesday, July 17.
