A Tennessee school board member has been charged with assault after allegedly putting his arm around a teenage student board member and telling her, 'God, you're hot', during a public meeting last month.
Court records show the charge stems from a 2 April incident involving Keith Ervin, who has served on the board since 2006. The teenager, who is also a board member as a student representative, later publicly criticised the adult members for what she described as their 'failure to act' following the incident.
