PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — A Woodburn middle school teacher has been accused of having an inappropriate relationship with a 17-year-old high school student.
KATU-TV reports that 30-year-old Luis Guevara was arrested last week for misconduct. He teaches at French Prairie Middle School and coaches girls’ basketball at Woodburn High School.
Woodburn police say the month-long investigation found Guevara was texting several girls on the basketball team and that he kissed a 17-year-old on several occasions.
School officials said in a statement that it placed him on leave, pending a criminal and internal investigation. They say he had no prior criminal record.
