LITTLE ROCK, AR – A coach at Clinton Junior High school has been arrested and will be charged with first degree sexual assault on Thursday, according to Prosecuting Attorney Cody Hiland.

Hiland says Lance Campbell worked for the Van Buren County school as a history teacher and as a track and field coach. Hiland says the charges stem from an incident involving a 16-year-old girl.

I am a recent graduate of Clinton High School. Coach Campbell was my teacher, a very good one at that. I know the girl personally that cried wolf on him. She has made allegations on other older men who refused her advances and hurt her pride. This man is completely innocent. He has kids to take care of. I highly doubt he would throw away his family for this lying knieving succubus. It sickens me that people automatically blame the older person instead of looking at who is making the accusation. I hope the girl gets what is coming to her for ruining Coach Campbell's life.

If they are charging him im sure there is proof im sure a rape kit has been done and who know what was found. Why would Mr Hiland pursue charges with out it? Makes me sick! So glad im not in VBC anymore!

With all of this stuff happening by supposed intelligent educators, I'm beginning to be a little skeptical about this kind of thing b/c I was a teenage girl once and I know how they can be. I wasn't vindictive but several of my friends were and they would do something like that if their advances were turned down..Either way, this coaches' life is ruined now, whether he's innocent or guilty, just from the allegation and media attention alone. If he's guilty then he deserves everything he gets but if he's innocent, then he's just S.O.L. and his career and life are ruined. But I do think that investigations like that should be complete before they are allowed to release any info names to the media..This goes for women who are accused of things like this too.
