A Pajaro Valley High School teacher was arrested Wednesday by Watsonville police on suspicion of sexual intercourse with a student and providing him alcohol, officers said Thursday.
Tanya Thienngern, 37, surrendered to police a day after an arrest warrant was issued. Since May 10, Watsonville police have been investigating claims that she was involved in a sexual relationship with a 17-year-old male student.
Thienngern denies she had a sexual relationship with the student, her Monterey-based attorney Joe Cisneros said. She was booked in Santa Cruz County Jail and released Wednesday on $25,000 bail. A court date was set for June 23.
Police Sgt. Saul Gonzalez said there is a "strong possibility" that Thienngern, an Aptos resident and English teacher, had sexual contact with and provided alcohol to other students, both on and off campus. But the arrest was based on allegations involving one student.
Police said she was arrested on suspicion of two counts of unlawful sexual intercourse, both incidents with the same student; three counts of contributing to the delinquency of minors; one count of endangering the person or health of a minor; and one count of degrading, immoral or vicious practices of drunkenness in the presence of children, police said.
When the allegations first arose, the Pajaro Valley School District placed the teacher on administrative leave. On Thursday, the district said it expects to complete its own internal investigation within the next two weeks.
"If we find substance to these allegations, we're considering dismissal," said Albert Roman, assistant superintendent of human resources at the district.
The district has three schools in Monterey County: Pajaro Middle School, Ohlone Elementary and Hall District Elementary. It's unclear how many of its graduates are now at Pajaro Valley High, Roman said. Most would end up at Watsonville High School, he said

More data needed.

I disagree, jury still out. Further evidence warranted.
The jury is sympathetic, but I agree we cannot render a proper verdict without more information.
Innocent, until proven guilty. More evidence please...
But she supplied alcohol, so take that into consideration.
More data for ya:

(Yes, put her on OAID LEAVE ... any other person would be ARRESTED.)

My wife just said that I’m a shallow person.
I don’t find this entertaining. Just sad.

“So, for some reason, /52/72/8/070620151743/index.htm/ was a bad link.
We’ve made a note of the bad URL and will take care of it as soon as we can.
Sorry about that! “
