BESSEMER CITY, N.C. — A Bessemer City High School athletic director accused of kissing and fondling a female student is in jail. Β A judge reduced 34-year-old Brandon Scott’s bond from $1 million to $100,000 Tuesday. Β He’s charged with indecent liberties with a student.

Gaston County Police believe the offenses happened on school property between October and December of 2014.

“Bessemer City is a good community, it’s a tight-knit community, everybody knows somebody. Β It doesn’t look good for the town,” said Bessemer City resident Anthony Garcia.

Scott is currently suspended with pay from his job with Gaston County Schools. Β He’ll be back in court next month.
