ST. GEORGE, Utah (ABC4) — St. George Police are seeking help in the investigation of a Nevada middle school counselor who was arrested in Utah on suspicion of aggravated sexual abuse of a minor.

David Scott Curtis, 54, was arrested in Mesquite, Nev. last month on a warrant issued by the St. George Police Department after they said they received a victim report of alleged sexual abuse.

The abuse allegations were for a crime committed approximately 10 years ago in Utah, according to police.

Curtis is a middle school counselor at Hughes Middle School in Mesquite. The Mesquite Police Department said it is not aware of any abuse committed at the middle school or in the state of Nevada.
