California Teachers Arrested for Sexual Misconduct

Two separate incidents of alleged sexual assault involving school staff members have led to arrests in California. In Merced, John Mobley III, an intervention coordinator at El Capitan High School, was arrested for allegedly sexually assaulting a student and faces charges including statutory rape. Meanwhile, in Coachella, Mario Valenzuela, a teacher with the Coachella Valley Unified School District, was arrested following accusations of committing lewd acts with a minor, with investigations beginning after a student reported inappropriate touching. Both investigations are ongoing, and authorities have urged anyone with additional information to come forward. These cases highlight the seriousness of allegations of sexual misconduct within educational institutions and the swift action taken by law enforcement to address such incidents.
