Arkansas Teacher Arrested for Sex with Male Student

(Star City, Arkansas) A 29-year-old math teacher formerly at Star City High School, Brandi Lynn Mullikin, has been arrested for allegedly engaging in sex with a male student. She faces a charge of second-degree sexual assault.

According to a report by Lt. Kevin Kirk, who investigated the case with Police Chief Steve Young, police were called to the office of Superintendent Rhonda Mullikin (no relation) April 1 in reference to “inappropriate behavior” between the student, a senior, 18, and Brandi Mullikin. […]

“Mullikin admitted that (the student) stayed overnight at her house several times, including school nights,” Kirk’s report stated. “Mullikin also stated that (the student’s) mother, … was aware of the relationship the entire time.”

Kirk later interviewed the student, who also admitted to having a sexual relationship with Mullikin. He stated that he met Mullikin when she was tutoring him.

“(The student) first claimed that the sexual relationship started after he was 18, but after further investigation, (the student) admitted that he had visited Mullikin when she was staying at the [former] Super 8 Motel in Star City in June of last year, and that is when they began their sexual relationship,” said Kirk. The student turned 18 in October 2009.

Kirk then interviewed Mullikin again April 2, and she admitted to having a sexual relationship with the student when he was 17 and she was aware of his age.

Mullikin was booked into custody at the Dumas Jail since the Lincoln County Jail doesn't house females.
