Someone had alerted the task force that Xiong was communicating inappropriately with children on messaging platform Discord. Among the messages were sexually explicit material, detectives alleged.<\/p>\n

With one of the children, he allegedly sent messages attempting to arrange a meetup.<\/p>\n

Xiong had worked as a tutor through the California Teaching Fellows Foundation, a nonprofit which describes itself as “providing school districts and school sites with trained college students and future leaders who serve as role models, tutors, and activity leaders.”<\/p>\n

The foundation has a contract with Fresno Unified School District<\/a>, and the foundation has placed Xiong on administrative leave.<\/p>\n

Xiong paid his $100,000 bail to be released from jail and will have a future court date.<\/p>\n

Additional victims may come forward, detectives said. Anyone with more information is urged to contact the Fresno County Sheriff.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"An afterschool tutor at Fresno High School allegedly exchanged child sex abuse material with children online and arranged…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":400072,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[31],"tags":[160656,112,114,76977,113,1447,160655,160654],"class_list":["post-400071","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-fresno","tag-california-teaching-fellows-foundation","tag-fresno","tag-fresno-headlines","tag-fresno-high-school","tag-fresno-news","tag-fresno-unified-school-district","tag-internet-crimes-against-children","tag-keebtsim-txhim-christopher-xiong"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/400071","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=400071"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/400071\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/400072"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=400071"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=400071"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=400071"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
