On Friday, law officials announced that the former director of the Keller ISD band has been indicted on eight counts of indecency with a child.
Jedidiah Mauss, 36, was arrested in October 2021 on charges of indecent exposure and having an inappropriate relationship with a student.
According to investigators, the last time Keller PD received a tip from a Keller ISD teacher was when it was reported that Mauss had exposed himself to a student.
