There are new allegations against a former Butler High School band director charged with child molestation.

The mother of a Murphey Middle School student claims Anthony Shelton allowed her daughter and another student to stay in his school office while both students were suspended.

Richmond County deputies tell NBC Augusta the alleged incident happened last year when Shelton worked there as a band assistant.

Investigators say they're still gathering information about these claims and no new charges have been filed.

Shelton was arrested earlier this month for having a sexual relationship with two Butler High School students.
