A Central California middle school teacher has been arrested after an investigation into allegations that he inappropriately touched students. <\/p>\n
The Stanislaus County Sheriff’s Department said they’ve been investigating Empire Union School District teacher Javier Villanueva after two students reported the allegations to school officials. <\/p>\n
Detectives noted that one of the alleged incidents happened last school year, while the other alleged incident happened on Oct. 20. <\/p>\n
Villanueva, 52, was subsequently arrested by deputies on Wednesday near his home in Patterson. <\/p>\n
CBS Sacramento has reached out to the district for comment. Villanueva primarily worked as an 8th grade English teacher at Glick Middle School, the sheriff’s office said. <\/p>\n
Villanueva was booked into Stanislaus County Jail on two counts of lewd acts with a child under 14. He’s being held on $500,000 bail. <\/p>\n
The sheriff’s office noted that they are still continuing to investigate whether there are other alleged victims who have not come forward.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A Central California middle school teacher has been arrested after an investigation into allegations that he inappropriately touched…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":2919,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[121,123,122,14770],"class_list":{"0":"post-19929","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-sacramento","8":"tag-sacramento","9":"tag-sacramento-headlines","10":"tag-sacramento-news","11":"tag-stanislaus-county"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19929","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=19929"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19929\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2919"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=19929"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=19929"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=19929"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
