Reports: Student May Have Lied about Band Director’s Actions

WHITE OAK — New details in the case of a White Oak ISD band director accused of inappropriately touching a former student. According to messages, the student may have lied about the incident. Our news partner KETK reports Jacovia Cartwright is facing an indictment for indecency with a child by sexual contact. In 2016, White Oak officers found what they said were inappropriate pictures of children on his phone. One of the students in the pictures says Cartwright touched her inappropriately during a band trip. Messages retrieved from his Facebook messenger show messages from the student saying she “kind of lied” to the police. Receipts from the trip show she was not on the hotel list.
