Former Educator Arrested For Sex Crimes With Minors In SMC: Police

NORTH FAIR OAKS, CA. — A former North Fair Oaks charter school employee was arrested for having sexual relationships with two students who were minors, the San Mateo County Sheriff’s office announced Monday.

Anthony G. GutierrezMolina, 31, of Palo Alto, was arrested Thursday after an outside agency located him in Ladera, police said. He was booked into the Maguire Correctional Facility and faces charges of unlawful sexual intercourse and oral copulation of a person under 18, police said.

GutierrezMolina previously worked as a coach and program manager for Summit Everest, a public charter high school in North Fair Oaks that closed in 2025. Police said they don’t believe he has been working as an educator since the school’s closure.

The investigation began in January 2026 when a victim reported a past sexual relationship that started when the victim was 16 years old, police said.

Since then, sheriff’s detectives said they identified a second victim who was also a minor at the time. The crimes happened between 2023 and 2025, police said.

Based on the nature of the crimes, investigators believe there may be additional unidentified victims.
