Plano teacher faces three additional warrants for indecency with a child

Former Brinker Elementary teacher Paul Campbell faces three additional warrants for indecency with a child, according to a July 27 report by CBS Texas, while the Plano Police Department continues an active Special Victims Unit investigation.

Campbell, 64, was previously arrested on a charge of continuous sexual abuse of a child. CBS Texas reported that he remained jailed without bond. The allegations have not been adjudicated in court.

What changed

Plano police said investigators obtained three more warrants for Campbell on July 27. The department described the Special Victims Unit investigation as ongoing and said investigators were continuing to determine whether other people may have relevant information.

The reported warrants allege indecency with a child. A warrant or charge is not a finding of guilt, and Campbell is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.

Campbell’s Plano connection

Campbell was a second-grade teacher at Brinker Elementary, where CBS Texas reported he had worked for 28 years. The earlier investigation began after a student reported inappropriate physical contact, according to an arrest affidavit described in the outlet’s July 9 report.

Plano ISD trustees voted to terminate Campbell after his arrest, according to CBS Texas. In a statement cited in the July 27 report, the district said it was aware of the additional warrants and continues to cooperate fully with Plano police.

Investigation remains active

The Plano Police Department’s Special Victims Unit tipline remains active at 972-941-2044. Police said disclosure can take time and that each victim and family makes decisions about participation at their own pace.

Police have not publicly identified alleged child victims in the current reporting. This article does not identify minors or include unnecessary details that could reveal their identities.

Custody and court information

CBS Texas reported that Campbell remained jailed without bond on July 27. Collin County’s official case-information systems can be used to check current inmate, bond, warrant and court information, but the county warns that its search tools update on different schedules: the Justice System application is updated continuously, while the general Case Search feature is updated daily at 6 p.m.

No case numbers, warrant-execution details or next court date were confirmed in the accessible records reviewed for this article. Those details may change as the case proceeds.

The investigation remains active. Police, prosecutors and the courts will determine what additional charges or proceedings, if any, follow. The reported allegations remain unresolved unless and until they are adjudicated in court.
