The Lowndes County Sheriff's Office says 26-year-old David Lawton had a sexual relationship with a 15-year-old Valdosta boy.
The boy told officials they had a relationship from January to June of this year.
Officials say the two met on a website.
Authorities investigated and Lawton was arrested at his home on Monday.
He was a student teacher at Southeast Elementary School.
Captain Wanda Edwards with the Lowndes County Sheriff's Office says, "Not only do you have the victim who is a child of the assault. But you also have the collateral victims who are the children that are left behind that had faith and trust in a teacher."
Lawton is charged with aggravated child molestation.
He's being held at the Lowndes County Jail without bond.
Lawton was a student at Albany State University.
A Valdosta City School official says Lawton no longer works at the school.
