Teacher’s aide reportedly from San Pedro hit with 4 sex charges
A teacher’s aide from Fremont High School in South Los Angeles was charged today with four felony sex-related counts.
Alain Salas, 40, was scheduled to be arraigned this afternoon in Compton Superior Court on three counts of committing a lewd act on a child and one count of contact with a minor for a sexual offense, according to the District Attorney’s Office.
According to his Facebook site, Salas is from San Pedro and lives there. The FBI says Salas lists a Los Angeles street address as his residency.
The criminal complaint alleges that the crimes occurred last year between Oct. 1 and Nov. 30 and involved a 15-year-old girl identified only as “Jane Doe.”
Salas began working at Fremont in 2006 as a teacher’s aide for special education students, and also helped coach girls softball and volleyball, according to the Los Angeles Unified School District.
He was arrested Monday by members of the FBI’s Sexual Assault Felony Enforcement team.
“The SAFE team is working with the alleged victim’s family and the school district, and is continuing to investigate the nature and extent of the allegations,” said FBI spokeswoman Laura Eimiller.
Prosecutors were asking that Salas’ bail be set at $300,000.
Leading Sexual Abuse Lawyer Seeking Justice For Victims Of Sexual Abuse
Sexual abuse perpetrated by an authority figure is an appalling reality for far too many children and adolescents in California and across the country. Priests, ministers, church officials and workers, coaches, teachers, day care workers, park rangers, and other trusted adults who sexually molest children ruin lives and cause irreparable psychological damage.
The individual pedophile can be tried as a criminal, but can rarely be held financially accountable. His or her sponsoring or employing organization—the church, diocese, school, school district, or other public or corporate entity—may be liable for its failure to adequately supervise and screen the perpetrator.
