High-School Girl Molested by Spanish Teacher Behind Closed Doors; Teacher Arrested after Another Teacher Found Victim Hiding and Sobbing in Bathroom in Pennsylvania
An ex-teacher from State College Area High School has been accused of engaging in inappropriate contact with a student, a matter that the school district has labeled as “deeply disturbing.”
A former Spanish teacher, Cesar J. Caceres Tello, 43, has been accused of engaging in inappropriate behavior with a student. According to State College police, Caceres Tello allegedly asked the girl sexual questions while at school and proceeded to touch her inappropriately in December 2022, as stated in an affidavit of probable cause.
Caceres Tello was promptly placed on administrative leave following the student’s report of the allegations, according to a statement from the school district. He stepped down just three days after.
According to police, the girl informed investigators that Caceres Tello took the initiative to shut the door and close the blinds in the classroom, leaving only the two of them. While her classmates headed to lunch, she took a moment to send a quick text message to her friend.
According to the police, she expressed feeling a slight drop in her heart and immediately started thinking about the worst-case scenario.
According to the police report, Caceres Tello, the individual in question, approached the girl and proceeded to sit next to her at a desk. The report states that he then proceeded to ask her numerous questions, while also invading her personal space. According to her statement to investigators, the incident left her extremely distressed, leading to tears.
As a response, Caceres Tello faced an accusation of making a comment about her appearance, suggesting that she was “too pretty to cry.” According to the police report, the individual proceeded to touch various parts of her body and made inappropriate sexual remarks.
The girl expressed her uncertainty and remained seated, her legs trembling, according to the police report obtained by Center Daily.
According to the police report, Caceres Tello instructed another female student to search for the person who had gone into hiding in the bathroom, while also calling out for them himself. According to the police, she expressed that her emotions took a sudden downward turn once more.
Caceres Tello unexpectedly approached the girl during her next class, causing concern among her fellow teacher. According to the police, Caceres Tello advised the student against spreading rumors and confidently stated that nothing had occurred.
The girl did not respond and went back to the classroom, according to the police report. According to the police report, the teacher informed investigators that the individual in question appeared visibly distressed and had tears in their eyes.
After carefully reviewing text messages and security camera footage, a school resource officer found evidence that supported the student’s claims, according to the police report.
State College resident faces charges of unlawful contact with a minor, corruption of minors, and indecent assault. No defense attorney was mentioned.
He appeared in court on Thursday before District Judge Gregory Koehle, who decided to release him on $25,000 unsecured bail. The preliminary hearing has been set for June 26.
