Mountain View detectives are seeking additional victims after a young student recently came forward and shared that a former elementary teacher had inappropriately touched them.
The student is not being identified.
In October, Mountain View patrol officers spoke with the student and their family after the child recently disclosed that their former teacher had inappropriately touched them during class while they attended Theuerkauf Elementary several years ago. The case was immediately sent over to our detectives who began to investigate further. During the course of their investigation, they learned that the teacher was 42-year-old Santa Clara resident Bryan Rios, who is no longer employed at the school.
On Nov. 20, detectives arrested Rios without incident in Santa Clara.
Detectives are concerned that Rios may have victimized others. If you or anyone you know may have been a victim of Rios, please contact Detective Lauren Riffel at lauren.riffel@mountainview.gov.
Media inquiries can be sent to PIO Katie Nelson at policepio@mountainview.gov.
