David Park, 37, of Chino Hills, was arrested on Feb. 23 at his residence by Industry Sheriff’s Station Deputies and Special Victims Bureau Detectives after information reported by school officials led to an investigation.

According to the L.A.

The relationship spanned between the months of Sept. and Nov. 2014.
