The 47-year-old principal of a Christian school in Tennessee has been arrested for the second time over sexual activity with multiple minors and has been slapped with 11 additional charges. Liberty Christian School principal Jason Kennedy was already facing three charges concerning his alleged sexual activity with an underage girl.

Law & Crime reports:

Jason Kennedy was taken into custody last week and charged with four counts of sexual battery by an authority figure, two counts of continuous sexual abuse of a child, one count of aggravated sexual battery, and one count of solicitation of a minor to observe sexual conduct, records reviewed by Law&Crime show.

Also charged is 28-year-old Brittney Branham, a secretary and homeschool coordinator at Liberty. She was arrested in August and charged with one count of solicitation of a minor in connection with the same series of incidents that allegedly took place inside Kennedy's home. Branham was also a resident at that address, according to the outlet. According to another outlet, Kennedy's wife lives there, too.

The victim told the authorities that Kennedy would come into the bedroom and talk about sex with her and Branham.

The New York Post reports:

She said Kennedy and Branham pleasured themselves and encouraged her to join them. After they finished, the victim said they adjusted their clothing and acted "like nothing had happened, they began talking like normal," the affidavit says.

Kennedy is also a teacher and pastor at Liberty Christian School. Local news outlets reported he and Branham remain employed.

How in the hell do they still have jobs at the school? That's interesting since he's currently being held in McMinn County Jail on a $400,000 bond.
