Investigation Of Alleged Sexual Misconduct Between Peninsula Teacher, Student Mishandled: Sheriff

SAN MATEO COUNTY, CA – The San Mateo County Sheriff's Office has started a formal administrative investigation into the mishandling of an incident involving a Millbrae teacher and student.

According to sheriff's officials, two reports of an alleged sexual relationship between a teacher and an underage female student were reported last year and not investigated as expected.

Sheriff's officials said the investigation was reviewed once in October 2015 and once in February of this year, however, they determined it was not conducted in a timely manner.

San Mateo County Sheriff Carlos Bolanos said in a statement, "I'm disappointed the investigation was not completed in a timely manner and it does not reflect the level of service we routinely provide residents of
Millbrae or the communities we serve."
