DURHAM - A former Southern High School teacher who was charged with having sex with two students turned himself in Monday morning.

Jamal Butler, 30, of Calibre Park Drive is charged with two counts of sexual offense with a student. He is currently out of jail on a $20,000 bond.

Butler allegedly had sex with two 16-year-old female students between July 1 and Jan. 8, according to arrest warrants.

School officials conducted an investigation along with police after allegations were made, said Michael Yarbrough, Durham Public Schools spokesman.

Butler, who became Southern's band teacher in August 2007, resigned Jan. 29, Yarbrough said.
