A 46-year-old high school teacher has been arrested after being accused of sexually abusing at least one student, California officials said.
Kareem Spann, of Burbank, was arrested May 30 after police received “multiple reports from students of suspected ongoing sexual misconduct” while working at Louis Armstrong High School in Sherman Oaks, according to the Los Angeles Police Department.
The former eighth grade teacher is accused of having “inappropriate communication” with a student in April, which took to the toilet and inappropriate touching, according to a news release from the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office.
Spann is also accused of sexually assaulting a second student during lunch on school grounds, authorities said.
McClatchy News contacted the school on June 2 for comment and is awaiting a response.
Spann worked at the school during the 2022-2023 school year and police believe there could be more victims.
He was charged with lewd act with a child under the age of 14 and child abuse, authorities said. Spann pleaded not guilty on June 1.
Police ask anyone with more information to call 818-374-5415.
Sherman Oaks is a neighborhood of Los Angeles.
