San Jose teacher arrested for sexually assaulting former student

Authorities announced on Monday that an English teacher at a San Jose high school was arrested on suspicion of sexually abusing one of his former students.

Officers first responded to reports of sexual abuse of a minor on January 9, when a mother told police she found inappropriate messages sent between her underage daughter and her former teacher, Te Bing-jung, 31.

Police believe the alleged attack happened while the victim went to Silver Creek High School, where she studied with Jung. The suspect is currently a teacher at Yerba Buena High School in East San Jose.

Jung was arrested at his San Jose home on January 10 and placed in the Santa Clara County Main Jail.

Police believe there could be additional casualties given the suspect’s high school background.

Anyone with additional information on this case is advised to contact Detective Camarillo at the San Jose Police Department at [email protected] or (408) 277-3214.
