Detectives say they began looking into James Smith, a teacher and coach at Utley Middle School in Rockwall, back in November.

That's when the department says it received the allegation involving Smith and a teenage girl younger than 17.

Rowlett Plice and Rockwall ISD says the alleged incident does not involve any Rockwall ISD school, student, or property.
