UPDATE: The Harris County Sheriff’s Office has confirmed to the Chronicle that it is investigating an allegation that a former Tomball ISD employee sexually abused a student while he was still employed with the district. “Evidence gathered in this investigation will be presented to the Harris County District Attorney’s Office to determine whether criminal charges are filed,” HCSO senior policy and communications advisor Jason Spencer wrote in an email.
