An educator at a private Christian school in Virginia is facing charges for allegedly having sex with a child, according to multiple reports.

Katelin Campbell, 34, an English teacher at the grades 7–12 CH Friend School in Halifax County, is facing charges that include having consensual intercourse with a child, jail records show.

Campbell was arrested once the accusation was made public, and the school then advised the police, who launched an investigation.

Her arrest was first reported by WSET, who obtained a statement from the school.

"We chose integrity instead of it being swept under the rug," the report states. "Scripture is very clear that if it was done in the dark it was going to be brought to light," school officials reportedly wrote. 

"We understand that taking it to the police department, it was going to come shine a light on to us," they added. "We took what we were told to them and let them carry on with their investigation.”

Details about the victim have not been released by investigators.

According to jail records, Campbell was charged with having consensual intercourse with a child 15 or older (not a parent or guardian), and with taking indecent liberties with a child by a person in a custodial relationship.

Bail was set at $2,500 at the Blue Ridge Regional Jail.
