A Mount Pleasant High School employee, Jorge Palacios, was arrested for allegedly annoying or molesting students, following an investigation triggered by reports of inappropriate conversations. Palacios, who had served as a parent community involvement specialist, was found to have multiple victims and witnesses corroborating the incidents. Arrested on April 28 after surrendering to police, authorities are concerned that there may be more victims. The case highlights ongoing issues regarding student safety and the need for vigilance in school environments.
Detectives opened an investigation last fall after learning about an "inappropriate conversation" between a student and a staff member at the school.
Authorities believe there may be additional victims, as detectives identified multiple victims and witnesses who alleged similar incidents involving Palacios.
