Teacher pleads guilty to six felonies

Former Parkview Christian School teacher Carrie Perkins pleaded guilty Monday to multiple counts of sodomy and rape for sexual relations she had with a teenage student.

Perkins, 30, pleaded guilty to three counts of rape second degree and three counts of sodomy second degree in Eufaula Circuit Court. She originally faced six counts each of rape and sodomy, according to Circuit Clerk David Nix.

Perkins was sentenced to 15 years for each count – split with three years to serve for each count. Those sentences will run concurrently with the 14-year sentence she received in Houston County approximately six weeks ago.

Perkins, who was a fifth grade teacher at Parkview Christian School, had a relationship with a 15-year-old PCS student. According to a Eufaula Police Department incident report that was filed last May, the student stated that he and Perkins had sexual relations four or five times since the start of 2010.

The student also told officers that the first incident occurred inside a classroom while other incidents took place inside the city limits and also in another city, according to the report. The incidents reportedly occurred after school.

 Along with the incidents at the school, Perkins also brought the boy to Dothan on May 8 and rented a room at the Hampton Inn.

In February, a Houston County judge sentenced Perkins to two seven-year sentences for rape and sodomy. He ordered that the sentences run consecutively with each other, and denied any requests for probation.
