Las Vegas authorities have arrested a charter school assistant principal on multiple charges related to sexual assault of a minor, with investigators warning there could be additional victims.
The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department announced Monday that 42-year-old Pernell Graham is facing six counts of sexual assault with a child under 16. Additional charges include sexual assault, first-degree kidnapping, child abuse or neglect causing substantial bodily or mental harm, and two counts of a school employee engaging in a sex act with a pupil.
Graham is an assistant principal at CIVICA Nevada Career & Collegiate Academy in North Las Vegas. Court records indicate he faces a total of 15 counts, 14 of which are felonies.
His first court appearance is this morning.
