Alabama middle school teacher arrested for sex with student 8 years ago

An Alabama middle school teacher has been arrested on charges that she was sexually involved with a student eight years ago.

Opelika police on Friday announced the arrest of 47-year-old Jill Brisendine Campbell. The Opelika Middle School teacher is charged with second-degree rape and second-degree sodomy.

The investigation began on April 15 when police received a report from a former student. That student told police an inappropriate sexual relationship had taken place while the student was in the seventh and eighth grades at Opelika Middle School.

Police said an investigation revealed evidence that corroborated the victim’s statement.

Opelika City Schools is fully cooperating with the investigation, police said, and has placed Campbell on administrative leave.
