Foot-licking suspect out on bond on molestation counts
AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW/WAGT) - The former teacher’s aide who’s accused of licking a boy’s feet is out of jail after being granted bond in a seven-count grand jury molestation case.
The bond hearing was held Monday for Caurey Rollins, 26, despite the fact that no hearing was scheduled.
Normally bond hearings appear on the court calendar with a time, set date, and the victims are notified, but that didn’t happen for Rollins and his victims.
An indictment shows Rollins is accused of molesting several kids during his time as a teacher’s aide. He worked at Glenn Hills Elementary School before he resigned after the school learned of the January foot-licking incident at Urban Air Adventure Park.
Prosecutors said they requested that bond be denied for Rollins in the grand jury case.
But Judge Amanda Heath disagreed, setting bond at $35,000, although jail records show he was being held in lieu of a $38,700 bond. We’ve asked officials to explain the discrepancy.
There are conditions on the bond:
- Rollins must follow a curfew from 9 p.m. to 7 a.m.
- He must have no with the victims.
- He must have no with the location where the incidents are alleged to have happened.
- He must attend all court proceedings.
Rollins was released around 10:30 p.m. Tuesday night, according to jail records.
We spoke with one victim’s family and they tell us they are not happy with the bond conditions.
After the foot-licking case emerged, Rollins was named in a grand jury indictment that stated the Richmond County School System received information on Feb. 1 about a male paraprofessional teacher possibly touching female students inappropriately. It lists four female victims.
Rollins was arrested Friday on the grand jury warrant, according to jail records, which show his bond was set at $38,700. That’s in spite of the fact that Rollins was not listed on a bond calendar.
The district hired Rollins on Aug. 11, 2022, as a general paraprofessional.

Some of his responsibilities included serving as an assistant to the teacher and assisting with the supervision of students while promoting activities to enhance the social, emotional, intellectual, and physical development of students.
Another responsibility was to maintain the same high level of ethical behavior and confidentiality of information about students as expected by the teacher.
On Jan. 17, he was placed on istrative leave by the school district. Less than three weeks later, he sent an email to the school district stating he was reg from his position due to the situation at hand and that it would be in his best interest to step down and seek different employment.
We do not know the place where the incidents from the indictment happened. But on Jan. 14 at Urban Air Adventure Park, he’s accused of sucking, licking, and kissing a child’s foot, an incident that also led to a molestation charge.
The foot-licking case remains unresolved.
