A self-confessed racist teacher has denied fondling a 6-year-old student saying she doesn’t like to touch black people even if only on the hand.
Irene Esther Stokes, 61, is accused of molesting the “private parts” of the first-grade girl at Northwest Prep Academy in Humble, Texas, on March 1.
Court documents allege Stokes told all her children, apart from one, to leave her classroom – and then put her hand on the outside of the girl’s clothes on her “vaginal area.”
The girl asked her to stop – and Stokes ordered her to leave the room.
She then allegedly made her stand in a hallway and banned her from having lunch.
Stokes, who was arrested last Thursday and charged with indecency with a child, denies the allegations.
“She said she doesn’t like to even touch the black children on their hand, she shies away when they try to hug her – she admitted to being prejudiced,” Humble Police Department Detective J. Blanchard told KHOU.com.
The school issued a statement on Tuesday revealing that Stokes, who was released from jail on a $10,000 bond, has lost her job.
