Bremble was arrested on June 10, after it was discovered that she had sexually explicit conversations with a juvenile student at Upper Dublin High School, both in person and via text message, according to release by the Montgomery County District Attorney's Office.
According to the release, Bremble gave the female student a sex device on school property, and later encouraged her to use it during text message conversations, when she stated "don't ever say I won't try it, cause u will experience something wonderful … "
According to a Phillyburbs.com article, investigations began after the female victim, in tears, "went to her father on May 27 and told him that Bremble had been sending her sexual text messages, telling the girl that she was bisexual, and that she thought the girl was 'hot.'"
The investigation and arrest were jointly announced by DA Risa Vetri Ferman and Upper Dublin Police Chief Terrence Thompson.
