Teacher accused of sex with teenager is arrested
A substitute teacher was arrested on suspicion of having sex with a 16-year-old girl, authorities said Thursday.
Joseph Scott Pine, 23, was taken into custody Wednesday at his Redlands home after one of the teenager’s friends alerted Fontana police to their alleged relationship, officials said. The alleged victim attended classes taught by Pine while he worked for the Fontana Unified School District, Sgt. Douglas Wagner said.
The two reportedly began their relationship in December 2006 and had sex on several occasions, police said.
