Belton ISD Responds to Teacher’s Arrest in Sexual Assault Case

Once again a Central Texas teacher has been arrested on charges of sexual assault of a minor.  Belton ISD teacher, Logan Michael Demeny, was arrested yesterday according to the Belton Police Department.

Last month, Demeny was placed on administrative leave after the school was informed that he was under investigation by Belton PD.

Malenda Golden, Superintendent of Belton ISD, sent out an email with the following statement.
“Last month, I informed you about a South Belton Middle School staff member who was placed on administrative leave.
“Today, I want to update you that criminal charges have been filed against Logan Demeny for an incident that occurred in 2021, and his employment with Belton ISD is being terminated.
“We will continue to fully cooperate with the Belton Police Department and prosecutors throughout the legal process."
“Reports regarding these charges have also been submitted to the Texas Education Agency, State Board of Educator Certification, and Child Protective Services. Our priority remains supporting those directly impacted.
“I am committed to being honest with you about this process and the actions we have taken. Belton ISD will not tolerate any behavior that puts our students at risk. We will take strong and decisive action to hold those who cause harm accountable.”

The alleged sexual assault against the student took place in 2021. The victim told police that the sexual assault did not happen on school grounds, but it did occur while they were a student in Demeny's class at South Belton Middle.

Demeny was booked yesterday for child sexual assault which is a 2nd degree felony, and he is currently being held on a $200,000 bond.
