A North Texas educator has been accused of sex crimes involving multiple students.
The Arlington Police Department arrested Anthony Rashad Hawkins, 25, on Tuesday in Grand Prairie.
Police say Hawkins is a former employee of Sam Houston High School in Arlington Independent School District.
Hawkins was charged with three counts of improper relationship between educator and student—forcible rape and two counts of indecency with a child by sexual contact. All are second-degree felonies punishable by two to 20 years in prison.
According to Arlington police, detectives with APD’s Crimes Against Children Unit initiated an investigation on August 23, after school administrators were made aware of the allegations and immediately reported them to authorities.
Through the course of their investigation, detectives identified three victims.
Hawkins was booked into the Arlington City Jail on September 5 and released on a $100,000 bond ($20,000 for each offense).
State records show that Hawkins does not hold a Texas teaching certificate.
