Of the arrested educators, 117 were teachers, 11 were teachers’ aides, and seven were substitute teachers, according to Fox News. Men accounted for 105 of the 135 arrests.
Educators included in the analysis are facing accusations ranging from child molestation to criminal sexual assault, according to Fox News. Only publicized arrests were included, meaning there could have been more cases than reported, according to the outlet.
Included in the analysis is former Making Waves Academy science teacher Anessa Paige Gower, who was arrested on April 8 on charges of 29 accounts of child molestation against seven students, according to Fox News. Gower is set to return to court on June 2.
Cupertino Middle School teacher Anthony James Phillips in Sunnyvale, California, is also featured in Fox News report. Police charged Phillips with the alleged aggravated sexual assault of a child, forcible penetration with a foreign object and forcible penetration with a foreign object upon a child.
