(FOX 11) 28-year-old Michelle Yeh assumed a temporary teaching assignment in the Science Department where the minor was a student in one of her classes. At the close of the 2015 school year, Yeh reached out to the victim and arranged private meetings. In July of 2015, the minor disclosed that Yeh sexually abused him on several occasions.
On July 17, 2015, Yeh was arrested and released on $100,000.00 bail. The investigation is still ongoing and detectives believe there may be other cases of unreported sexual abuse with other students.
