From The Trussville Tribune staff reports
CARROLLTON –The first of two former teachers and coaches at Pickens Academy accused in a sex scandal that rocked the small West Alabama community has pleaded guilty. The pair were husband and wife at the time of their arrest.
Former Pickens Academy teacher and head girls basketball coach Charli Parker pleaded guilty on Tuesday to two counts of engaging in sexual activity with a student under 19 years of age. She was sentenced to three years in prison and ordered to report to prison in September to begin serving her sentence.
Parker was originally charged with 11 counts involving allegations of sex with two students. The remaining charges were dropped as part of the plea agreement with prosecutors.
In March of 2016, just days after Charli Parker was charged with having sex with a male student, her husband, Jamie Parker, was booked into the Pickens County Jail for having sex with a female student.
Jamie Parker was also a teacher at Pickens Academy and served as the head boys basketball coach. His trial is set for November.

Didn’t a judge just rule that the law they were charged and convicted under was unconstitutional?
