Teacher Accused in Sex Case Is Freed on Bail
A Los Alamitos High School science teacher and girls basketball coach was free on bail Wednesday after his arrest a day earlier on suspicion of engaging in a sex act with a 16-year-old girl.
The school district has placed the teacher, 33-year-old Kevin W. Davis, on unpaid leave pending resolution of his case. Police said a school employee came forward Tuesday morning, claiming to have witnessed Davis and the student on Monday afternoon engaged in apparently consensual oral sex in a school classroom.
Davis, of Long Beach, could not be reached for comment.
After interviewing Davis, the girl and the witness, police said the incident appeared to be an isolated one.
“At this point, we have no indication that anyone else was involved or that this has been going on for any length of time,” said Police Capt. Todd Mattern.
