Price faces the following charges:
According to the criminal complaint, Price was hired as a teacher's aide at Holy Redeemer Christian Academy in September 2015. His "duties were to help in the lunch room, provide general assistance to teachers and assist with the athletic programs."
The criminal complaint indicates that in March and April 2016, Price had inappropriate sexual contact with a teenage girl. He's also accused of sending that girl and several others inappropriate messages via Facebook and Facebook Messenger. The complaint indicates that included photos of himself that were sexual in nature.

"It`s very sick," the mother of one of Price's alleged victims said. "He should not be around kids, and should be in jail. It's horrible."
The complaint indicates Price sent inappropriate photos to this mother's daughter.
"He sent the pictures and she actually just deleted them and blocked him," the girl's mother said.

FOX6 News spoke with school leaders at Holy Redeemer Christian Academy on Friday, April 15th -- prior to charges being filed. At the time, they indicated the allegations against Price were "simply not true."
Bishop Sedgwick Daniels
On Friday, the school's bishop released a statement:
On Sunday, April 17th, after charges were filed, Bishop Sedgwick Daniels refused to answer any specific questions from FOX6 News, and instead invited us to church as he addressed church members.
"I apologize to you that we have to interrupt our morning service and interrupt our workshop to correct a problem," Daniels said.
Daniels told church members he learned of the accusations against Price on Monday afternoon, April 11th. Daniels said he removed Price from the premises within 10 minutes -- despite the fact that Price had already resigned.
