A former teacher at El Sendero Christian Academy was arrested following accusations that he sexually molested one of his teenage students, according to an affidavit for an arrest warrant.
Charged with sexual assault of a child, Matthew Aaron Hernandez, 26, was released from Bexar County Jail on Thursday after posting $20,000 bond.

Hernandez admitted to police that he bought the student expensive gifts, allowed him to move into his house, slept with him in the same bed and took him to a Super 8 Motel. But he denied fondling or sexually assaulting the boy, the affidavit said.
The academy is housed by El Sendero Assembly of God, a church whose community was stunned in 2005 when a former youth pastor there admitted to police he'd stabbed to death his pregnant teenage girlfriend, a congregant at the church.
