A former Plano Independent School District educator is facing three new criminal charges after an initial arrest earlier this month. Paul Campbell, 64, was taken into custody on July 8 and charged with continuous sexual abuse of a child.
Investigators have since secured three additional warrants for indecency with a child. The new charges stem from allegations involving a second-grade student at Brinker Elementary School during the previous academic year.
According to an arrest warrant affidavit, an eight-year-old girl informed her parents over the Fourth of July holiday that Campbell had inappropriately touched her. The student stated the incident occurred when she approached his desk to ask a question. She described him running his hand through her clothing while responding.
The affidavit notes that the student reported this behavior happened repeatedly throughout the school year. She also alleged that other female classmates, including a friend, experienced similar contact. The report specifies that no male students were observed being subjected to these actions.
Plano ISD has moved to terminate Campbell’s employment. In a public statement, the district described the alleged conduct as reprehensible and stated it was entirely inconsistent with the organization's values and expectations for staff members.
