A Santa Ana high school teacher was arrested Wednesday morning on suspicion of lewd conduct with a student during a five-year period, police said.

Lee Henry, 56, of Tustin, was pulled out of his English class at Middle College High School about 10 a.m. and arrested in the office, said Lt. Jim Peery, a spokesman for the Tustin Police Department.

The alleged abuse began when the student was 13 years old and attended Carr Intermediate School, where Henry was his teacher, Peery said.

This one is close to home, but I had never heard of this High School before. I notice that they never say what sex the child is.

This is the third incident in Orange County this year.

[NathanR]

Naughty teacher ping.

A male teacher and male student this time...finally a switch from all the female teacher / male student stuff that's been reported lately.

I'll say it again where were these teachers when I...

Wait a second, scratch that. I don't want to think about what Father Eugene wanted to do with me after religion class. Yeech!

Unfortunately, the sick and perverted will always be among us.

Everyone has my permission to shoot them!

[NathanR]

I did not parse it that well, but I suspected that what it was.

[NathanR]

I hope that was a joke.

He will apply for his unearned pension as soon as bail is made.

We just don't pay these teacher's enough to behave morally. That's why we have turned our schools into a wonderland for sexual predators. Sarcasm off/

....Henry was his teacher, Peery said.

Hey at lest it refers to "abuse". When it's a woman teacher the headlines all but say "Lucky teen gets some from his hot teacher".

I wonder who molests younsters more? Public school teachers or Roman Catholic priests.

[NathanR]

Good question. I expect it might be the same, but I don't know.

However, I think it got swept under the rug more with priests, than with teachers.

If gays could get married, this sort of thing would never happen again.

Must be something in the water in O.C.

They call the perp "his teacher" so I assume they are identifying the gender as male. We don't see much use of the male as the non-specific pronoun any more.

This teacher needs to hang from his groin while his victim(s) play piñata.

Why are you discriminating in favor of Boy Scout Leaders?
