"Matt LaFever, 37, was taken into custody around 7 a.m. at his Hopland home following an investigation that began Oct. 16, according to the Ukiah Police Department. He is suspected of knowingly annoying or molesting a minor - a misdemeanor under California law that applies to sexually motivated behavior toward someone under 18 - and was being held Monday night at the Mendocino County jail on $10,000 bail, records show."
"An investigation began when a parent reported that LaFever made a sexual comment toward her 17-year-old daughter, police said. During their investigation, another 17-year-old student told officers that LaFever sent her sexually suggestive messages on social media even though he knew she was a minor. "LaFever had persisted to make sexually suggestive comments about her and repeatedly asked her to send him inappropriate photographs," police said in a news release. Investigators said he also sent the girl "scantily clad and inappropriate photos of himself.""
