On Wednesday, July 8, 64-year-old Brinker Elementary teacher Paul Campbell was arrested for continuous sexual abuse of a child.“Detectives obtained the warrant after investigating an outcry by a student regarding inappropriate physical contact that occurred at Brinker Elementary within the Plano Independent School District (PISD), where Campbell was serving as a teacher,” the Plano Texas Police Department said in a Facebook statement. “Campbell is currently being held in the Plano City Jail.”
According to Jerry Minton, public information officer at Plano Police Department, Campbell was apprehended by the authorities before walking into the PISD administrative building for a meeting, according to Michelle Yeomans of NBC DFW,
“Investigators are now working to determine whether there are additional victims,” Yeomans said. “Because Campbell spent decades teaching elementary school students, detectives said some people with information may now be adults.”
NBC DFW reported that the police said the student came forward after the school year, the alleged period of abuse. As other Brinker Elementary parents worry for their children’s safety, Minton encourages any other affected students to tell the authorities.
