Man Arrested For Having s*x With Student Days After Wife Got Arrested On Same Offense

Another Pickens Academy teacher is in the county jail on the same charge his wife was arrested for two days ago.

The Pickens County Sheriff’s Office confirms James “Jamie” Franklin Parker, 32, was arrested Wednesday. He is charged with a school employee having s*x with a student under the age of 19. Parker teaches math and coaches basketball and football, according to the private school’s website and the Alabama Independent School Association.


Pickens County District Attorney Chris McCool said the arrest is the result of an ongoing investigation by the Pickens County Sheriff’s Office. The victim in this case is a former female student. McCool said none of the criminal s*xual activity occurred at the school.

McCool expects more charges to be filed against Parker on Thursday. The investigation is still ongoing. Authorities confirm he is married to Charli Jones Parker, who was arrested on the same charge Monday. She also teaches at Pickens Academy and is head coach for the girls’ basketball team.  She is accused of having s*x with a male student.
