VISALIA, Calif. (KFSN) -- A former Visalia Unified employee has learned his punishment for sexually abusing two 15-year-old girls.

40-year-old Dejaun Jones was sentenced on Wednesday to five years in prison for lewd acts with teens.

Jones worked at Mount Whitney High School as a campus supervisor.

Prosecutors say his illegal behavior began in 2022.

In 2023, he was accused of exchanging nude photos with a 15-year-old girl and touching her inappropriately.

Jones pleaded guilty to 11 felony charges back in May.

One of his victims was awarded an $8 million settlement for a sexual abuse case against the Visalia Unified School District.

An elementary school teacher for the Plano Independent School District has been arrested on a charge of continuous abuse of a child, according to a statement from the district.

Plano Police Department

Plano police said they arrested 64-year-old Paul Campbell on Wednesday after a student reported inappropriate physical contact while at Brinker Elementary, where Campbell was a teacher. Plano PD said Campbell is being held in the Plano City Jail.

The district said it is aware of the report from Plano PD and said Campbell's alleged conduct "is reprehensible and is completely inconsistent with the values and expectations we hold for all Plano ISD employees."

Plano police said the alleged continuous sexual abuse of a child occurred at Brinker Elementary and that detectives are talking with additional people who were suggested to them as part of the investigation.

Plano ISD said it is cooperating with the police, has reported the alleged incident to the Texas Education Agency and the State Board for Educator Certification and has "initiated action" to address Campbell's employment with the district.

The district said no further details will be provided as the investigation is active, nor will it identify those involved.
