A former Chilton County sheriff’s deputy and schools employee, along with his wife, were indicted this week by a special grand jury for allegedly committing sex crimes involving minors.

David Hubbard, 40, and Rebecca Hubbard, 35, of Chilton County, face a total of 77 charges, according to a press release from C.J. Robinson with the 19th Judicial Circuit District Attorney’s office.

David Hubbard faces nine counts of facilitating the travel of a child for an unlawful sex act, nine counts of enticing a child for immoral purposes, eight counts of rape in the second degree, eight counts of sodomy in the second degree, eight counts of a school employee engaging in a sex act with a student under the age of 19, three counts of sexual abuse in the second degree, and two counts of a school employee having sexual contact with a student under the age of 19.

David Hubbard faces a total of 47 charges including 42 felony charges and five misdemeanors.

Rebecca Hubbard faces nine counts of enticing a child for immoral purposes, eight counts of rape in the second degree, eight counts of sodomy in the second degree, two counts of facilitating the travel of a child for an unlawful sex act, one count of a school employee engaging in a sex act with a student under the age of 19, one count of sexual abuse in the second degree, and one count of a school employee having sexual contact with a student under the age of 19.

Rebecca Hubbard faces a total of 30 charges including 28 felony charges and two misdemeanors.

Robinson said a court date has not been scheduled for David and Rebecca Hubbard, but both will appear in court “soon” for arraignment.

The grand jury report stated the special called Chilton County grand jury heard 39 cases and returned two true bills.

“We reviewed the facts and circumstances surrounding a motor vehicle accident involving two juveniles and the death of one adult,” the grand jury report states.

As a result of the death investigation, the report states, “we have returned appropriate charges on these matters, and we recommend that one of the juvenile cases be transferred to Juvenile Court for disposition.”

The report also stated that they “believe law enforcement officers should be above reproach in their conduct in the community.”

David and Rebecca Hubbard were arrested in July, and were first charged with sexual contact with a student under the age of 19 and contributing to the delinquency of a minor.

As news of the initial charges was released, other students came forward and disclosed that they had also been subjected to inappropriate and illegal contact with both David and Rebecca Hubbard.

David and Rebecca Hubbard were later arrested at the end of July on 87 combined charges involving the victimization of minors.

The investigation initially began after the June 19 wreck on Alabama Highway 145 near Jefferson State Community College in Clanton, which involved three vehicles and resulted in the death of Christopher Alan Webster, 45, of Alabaster and two others being hospitalized.

Investigators, in trying to determine if alcohol was a contributing factor to the wreck, discovered information that led to David Hubbard’s and Rebecca Hubbard’s arrests for supplying alcohol to an underage female the day before the wreck.

As the investigation continued, evidence of inappropriate and illegal contact between a student and both David Hubbard and Rebecca Hubbard was disclosed.

At the time of the criminal relationship, both David Hubbard and Rebecca Hubbard were associated with the Chilton County Board of Education.

David Hubbard was employed by the Chilton County Sheriff’s Department and the Chilton County Board of Education as a teacher of a class at the LeCroy Career Technical Center geared toward students who were interested in becoming law enforcement officers.

He had previously served as the Chilton County School Resource Officer.

David Hubbard resigned from the Chilton County Sheriff’s Department on June 1 to pursue a full-time position teaching at the LeCroy Career Technical Center.

Rebecca Hubbard was employed as a substitute teacher by the Chilton County Board of Education at the time of the relationship.

All the charged offenses occurred over the last two years, during which David Hubbard and Rebecca Hubbard were associated with the Board of Education.

According to court records, both David Hubbard and Rebecca Hubbard remain in jail on bond.
