SAN JOSE, CA — An athletic trainer at a high school in San Jose was arrested this month on suspicion of sexually battering a student while caring for her sports injury, police said.
Kelvin Chiu, 31, was arrested in Fremont on Friday on suspicion of annoying or molesting a minor, production and possession of child sexual abuse material and sexual battery, according to the San Jose Police Department.
The arrest happened after a 16-year-old girl at the high school in the 5000 block of Mitty Way in San Jose accused Chiu of sexually battering her and recording it, police said. KRON4 identified the school as Archbishop Mitty High School.
Authorities launched an investigation into the accusations and secured warrants for Chiu's home and cars, police said.
Child sexual abuse material was found on Chiu's phone during the investigation, police said.
Police say school administrators were notified of the incident and is fully cooperating with the investigation, police said.
In a statement to KRON4, the Diocese of San Jose said their first concern "is for the student and family, and for all of our students and families."
