A teacher at a private school in Montgomery County has been charged with sexual abuse of a student.
Ashley Jean Campbell, 27, who taught at Montrose Christian School in Rockville, was arrested Thursday and charged with two counts of sexual abuse of a minor and two counts of committing a fourth-degree sex offense.
School officials received an anonymous email on Friday alleging a sexual relationship between a teacher and a 16-year-old male student. School officials contacted police that same day.
The student told police that he had been involved in a sexual relationship between the fall of 2010 and January 2012. During that time, he and Campbell would drive in her vehicle to a park in Montgomery County were they had sexual intercourse, police said. All of the events happened in Campbell’s vehicle off of school property and after school hours, police said.
A school spokesman said Thursday that Campbell was fired this week and no longer teaches at Montrose Christian, a school of 200 students in grades K-12.
