Police say they were notified Sept. 12 of the assault of a 15-year-old at Independence High School. During the course of the investigation, police identified a woman who said she was 17 when sexually assaulted in 2010.

According to Independence High's JROTC website, Gibson has taught at the school for a decade. He was a security policeman for 25 years, listing several medals for service during the Gulf War and in Afghanistan.

It’s unclear whether he has a lawyer.
