Teacher’s aide Gary Jimenez Jr., who taught in Folsom has been arrested, and accused of multiple counts of child sex abuse.
Jimenez Jr., 23, was taken into custody Friday. Police say he worked as a special education aide at Folsom Middle School, and that’s where the acts allegedly took place.
On August 31, the Folsom Police Department was contacted regarding an incident that had been reported on the campus of Folsom Middle School earlier that day. Detectives say they discovered multiple counts of lewd acts with a child under 14 years old, oral copulation with a person under 14 years old, and kidnapping.
Police say Jimenez Jr. was also employed by a temp agency during the last school year and worked at Oak Chan Elementary and other area school districts.
This is an ongoing criminal investigation. Anyone with information about the investigation is urged to contact Detective Thibeault of The Folsom Police Department Criminal Investigations Division at (916) 312-1174 or FPD233554@folsom.ca.us
Manly, Stewart & Finaldi has represented hundreds of children who were sexually assaulted by teachers in schools . We secured a settlement of $140 million on behalf of 81 child sexual abuse victims at Miramonte Elementary School in Los Angeles. This was the largest child sexual abuse settlement by a public school district in history. We are also the lead attorneys representing Olympic athletes and victims of former US Olympic Women’s Gymnastics Team Doctor Larry Nassar and secured $890 million in settlements for our clients. In each of these cases we have helped victims and families get justice by conducting a thorough investigation of the organization and the school In many cases we have discovered that administrators and executives know that the perpetrator was a danger to children and either did nothing or actively covered up the crimes.
