OK, which teacher would keep a mattress and "50 Shades of Grey" in a classroom?
This comes from a local story about a teacher named Hugo Cortes Guzman accused of molesting a student. That's sick enough, but wait until you hear the details, which may be TMI for some of you:
According to Santa Clara police reports, the scenario that led to his arrest began last Thursday, when a janitor who was cleaning at Santa Clara High School between 7 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. noticed lights on inside classroom P8 and that a male and female were inside.
The male, later identified as Guzman, was sitting on the far side of the desk and the female, dressed in shorts and a hooded sweatshirt, was seated near the desk and giggled while watching the movie, This is the End, police said.
The janitor went about cleaning the room for about five minutes, then reported the incident to the head janitor, who responded Oh P8, weve seen that before, which the janitor felt meant this happened all the time, according to police.
Later that night, the janitor returned to the room to vacuum after the couple had left and found a green foam mattress, which he described as nasty, with blankets and pillows underneath the teachers desk, police said.
The janitor also looked inside a wooden cabinet and saw hair straighteners and girls panties and bras, which he found very disturbing, and decided to report it to the school principal after the weekend, police said.
On Monday afternoon, he reported the incident to a secretary at another school and she suggested he report it to his union representative, who contacted the human resources director of the Santa Clara County Unified School District, who then informed Santa Clara police, police said.
Santa Clara police met with Santa Clara High Schools principal, Greg Shelby, on Monday evening and he let officers into Guzmans classroom after the teacher had left, police said.
In the classroom, officers found the mattress under the desk and inside a wall locker found clothes, personal accessories, girls panties and bras, two condoms, sexual lubricant, a condom blown up like a balloon and a copy of the book 50 Shades of Grey.
Well, shouldn't the janitor have just called the police immediately, given the evidence and circumstances? Otherwise there could have been a Penn State-style cover-up, especially if Guzman were the football coach (he was the track coach at this school). (Another local TV station incorrectly reported that the janitor was the one who called police.) The local paper
also has a report.
