Guam - Another teacher has been arrested by the Guam Police Department, accused of having inappropriate relationships with students. Juvenile Investigation Section agents arrested 58-year-old Jimmy San Nicolas Taitano of Yigo today.
Taitano, a former physical education teacher, was arrested on two counts each of 1st and 2nd degree criminal sexual conduct and official misconduct and three counts of child abuse.
GPD spokesperson Sergeant Mike Aguon says they conducted an investigation following reports of students and teachers at John F. Kennedy High School having inappropriate relationships.
Deputy superintendent Rob Malay says Taitano resigned when the investigation was launched back in August of last year. Taitano will spend the night in jail awaiting a magistrate's hearing tomorrow.
Just two weeks ago, a former JFK High teacher was also arrested on similar charges, as 37-year-old Jack Eugene Hattig, III was accused of having sex with students on campus. The students were 16 at the time.
