SAN ANTONIO \u2013 A former teacher at Somerset Academy Collegiate was recently indicted on multiple charges in connection with separate incidents involving students, according to court documents. <\/p>\n

Court documents obtained by KSAT show Jesse Orta, 34, was indicted on the following charges on Aug. 20:<\/p>\n

Two counts of improper relationship between educator and student<\/p>\n

One count of possession of child pornography<\/p>\n

According to the indictments, the improper relationship accusations include sexual contact with two students between Nov. 1, 2023, and March 1, 2024. <\/p>\n

The indictment for child sexual abuse material said Orta had \u201cvisual material\u201d of a child under 18 years old in late September 2024. <\/p>\n

BACKGROUND<\/p>\n

Orta is accused of recording a girl getting in and out of the shower, an arrest affidavit said. He was initially arrested in October 2024<\/a>.<\/p>\n

According to the affidavit, a woman discovered the recording on a \u201cpersonal file\u201d on Orta\u2019s cellphone. <\/p>\n

The woman contacted authorities, and San Antonio police officers took his cell phone as evidence, the affidavit states. <\/p>\n

Upon further investigation, officers confirmed that Orta had recorded the girl without permission.<\/p>\n

Another girl, who was a student at a school where Orta was employed as a band teacher, told police about sexual encounters involving Orta, court documents said. <\/p>\n

Orta resigned after the school administration reassigned him elsewhere to limit interactions with students, authorities said.<\/p>\n
