Two Teachers, MarVelous Brown and Derek Calvon Hill Jr. along with Corey Reed Nashville Police Officer Have been Indicted in Sex Crimes Investigation

MarVelous Brown, 30, of Memphis, surrendered today, May 12, in Nashville and is being held on the indictment. The amount of his bond is $100,000.

Three males, two instructors, and a Metro police officer have been indicted on several criminal counts following an investigation launched by the Police Department’s Youth Services Division in January into the purported sexual assault of a Nashville adolescent in 2017 and 2018.

The officer, Corey Reed, 31, a five-year veteran of the Nashville Police Department, surrendered this afternoon at the Downtown Detention Center on one count of sexual battery by an authority figure for the alleged unlawful touching of a then-13-year-old boy who spent the night at Reed’s home in December 2017. A Criminal Court Judge set the bond for Reed at $100,000.

MarVelous Brown, 30, is charged with one count of aggravated rape, three counts of statutory rape by an authority figure, two counts of sexual battery by an authority figure, and one count of solicitation of a minor. He was the band director at Joelton Middle School when he met the victim in 2017 and allowed him to spend the night at his home on multiple occasions. Brown was the band director at Fisk University until his recent divorce. Brown has yet to be apprehended.

Derek Calvon Hill Jr., a current high school health teacher at Kipp Academy, has been charged with one count of aggravated rape in connection with the alleged sexual assault of a juvenile at Marvelous Brown’s Nashville house in 2017. Hill was arrested at Kipp on May 11th. His bond is also set at $100,000.

The victim, now 18, reported the sexual assault to authorities in January of this year, claiming it began while he was in sixth grade. Brown is said to have tried to have intercourse with the teen as recently as last year.

On January 19, Reed, who was assigned to the South Precinct, was deactivated (police authority removed) pending criminal and administrative investigations. Reed’s probe by the Office of Professional Accountability will soon result in a disciplinary hearing notice.

Brown, Hill, and Reed are pals who met through a Tennessee State University Fraternity mentoring program.
