Arden Middle School Teacher Arrested On Child Sex Abuse Charges
SACRAMENTO - A teacher at Arden Middle School has been arrested on multiple counts of child sexual abuse.
According to the Sacramento County Sheriff's Office, 49-year-old Glenn C. Alejandrino turned himself in at the Sacramento County Main Jail on an arrest warrant. He is accused of furnishing his students with alcohol, marijuana, pornography, and sex toys.
Sacramento sheriff's deputies took him in on the following charges:
- Lewd or Lascivious Acts with a Child Under 14
- Lewd Act on Child/Victim w/More Than ten years Age Difference
- Communicating w/Minor with Intent to Commit Sex Offense
- Furnish Marijuana to Minor Under 14 years Old
- Contribute to Delinquency of Minor and Molesting a Child Under Age 18.
Authorities say all of the charges detailed in the warrant occurred at Alejandrino's home; however, they believe the victims were inside his home with their parent's knowledge and consent.
Alejandrino worked in Early Childhood Education from 1996 to 1998. He was later a 6th-grade teacher at Cowan Elementary School between 1996 and 2012. In 2013, he transferred to Arden Middle School, where he taught 8th-grade Leadership and Government until 2022.
Alejandrino posted a $350,000 bail and was back in court Wednesday to answer for the charges.
