Virginia Christian school teacher arrested for child sex crimes
HALIFAX COUNTY, Va. — “A private Christian school teacher in Virginia has been arrested amid allegations of child sex crimes, WSET first reported.
Katelin Campbell, 34, an English teacher at CH Friend School in Halifax County, was taken into custody Thursday. State prosecutors allege that Campbell had consensual sexual contact with a minor who is at least 15 years old, the outlet reported."
"Campbell now faces two felony charges, including indecent liberties with a minor by someone in a custodial role and consensual sexual activity involving a minor aged 15 or older."
Dana Jones, the headmistress of CH Friend School, said that Ms. Campbell submitted her notice of resignation to be effective immediately on the same day the school was made aware of the allegations.
“While it remains unclear whether the alleged victim was a student at the school, the Commonwealth’s Attorney confirmed to WSET that the minor involved is a male.”
According to the school's website, ‘The C.H. Friend School is a small private institution which focuses on small class sizes and hands on learning.’
“We are a K3-12 School that focuses on the individual needs of each child while instilling Christian values. We use a traditional instructor led method along with hands on learning to help our students reach their highest academic potential. We believe that by providing the highest level of education while instilling morals, ethics and integrity we develop future community leaders.”
