   A math teacher at Martin High School in Arlington has been   
   arrested for an alleged sexual assault of a child more than 19   
   years ago.   
      
   According to an arrest warrant, Gregory Peters engaged in oral   
   sex with a 16-year-old girl he had been tutoring in 1999. The   
   warrant says the sexual assault happened on a March night when   
   Peters was celebrating his birthday.   
      
   Before the alleged sexual assault, Peters introduced the girl to   
   his brother and sister-in-law as his girlfriend, and told them   
   she was a sophomore at the University of North Texas, according   
   to the warrant, dated Oct. 23.   
      
   The victim made her claims to Arlington officers on Oct. 15.   
      
   The relationship between Peters and the victim began when the   
   victim and her friend started prank calling Peters when they   
   were in 10th grade, the victim told detectives. When Peters told   
   the girls he wanted to meet them, they went to his home.   
      
   Peters, who was working at Kennedale ISD at the time, then   
   volunteered to tutor the girls in math. Those tutoring sessions,   
   though, would include Peters “randomly” tickling the girls,   
   showing them wrestling moves or letting them cut his hair and   
   paint his nails, according to the warrant.   
      
   The victim’s friend told police the girls even spent the night   
   at Peters’ house one time.   
      
   On the night of the alleged assault, Peters took the victim to   
   dinner at a Macaroni Grill outside of Arlington “so as not to be   
   recognized by friends,” the victim told police. Peters then   
   snuck her into an apartment complex hot tub and took her to his   
   house, where he asked her to have sex.   
      
   The victim refused, but she and Peters did have oral sex,   
   according to the warrant.   
      
   The victim’s friend, now a 35-year-old woman identified in the   
   warrant only as a witness, said her interaction with Peters   
   ended when she started dating a boy and she “realized what she   
   was doing was not right” since the girls weren’t telling their   
   parents about the frequent visits to Peters’ house.   
      
   A 35-year-old woman who was Peters’ neighbor in 1999   
   corroborated the claims that the girls were often at Peters’   
   house. She described Peters to officers as “creepy.”   
      
   Peters spoke to officers at Martin High School on Oct. 15. He   
   admitted to letting the girls stay at his house and claimed he   
   took the victim to Macaroni Grill after she had graduated. He   
   denied ever having oral sex with a student.   
      
   Peters was put on leave and reported to the Texas Education   
   Agency immediately after AISD was notified of the allegations.   
   The district provided a brief statement to WFAA Wednesday:   
      
   “Peters was not an AISD employee when this incident occurred.   
   When Peters was hired in 2012, there were no issues in his   
   background that would have indicated any concerns.”   
      
   Peters was taken to the Arlington City Jail and placed on $5,000   
   bond. Records didn’t show he was still in jail Wednesday evening.
