A longtime Plano ISD teacher arrested earlier this month for allegedly sexually abusing a student is facing additional charges, police said this week.
Paul Campbell, 64, taught second grade at Brinker Elementary School for 28 years. He was arrested July 8 with continuous sexual abuse of a child under 14, a first-degree felony, after a student accused him of 鈥渋nappropriate physical contact,鈥� Plano police said at the time.
The department said Monday it has obtained three additional warrants against Campbell for indecency with a child, a second-degree felony.
"We want to acknowledge the courage of the children who have come forward, as well as the strength and resiliency shown by their parents throughout this difficult process,鈥� the department said in a statement. 鈥淲e recognize that disclosure can take time, and that each victim and family makes decisions about participation at their own pace."
Campbell is being held at the Collin County Detention Center. 四虎影院 reached out to his attorney, listed in jail records as David Kleckner, and will update with any response.
Plano ISD said in its own statement it is 鈥渇ully鈥� cooperating with the police department鈥檚 criminal investigation. Following Campbell鈥檚 arrest, the school board voted unanimously to initiate firing him.
鈥淭he alleged conduct is reprehensible and completely inconsistent with the values, standards and expectations of Plano ISD,鈥� the district said Monday.
