(Foreign)--An elementary school teacher accused of sexually abusing 20
students and one adult was arrested Wednesday, police said.
Eight counts of continual sexual abuse and seven counts of lewd acts
upon a child have been filed against Robert Pimental for abuse that took
place at George De La Torre Jr. Elementary in the Wilmington area,
police said.
When officials learned of the allegations earlier this year they
immediately removed him from campus and parents and state credentialing
authorities were informed, school district spokesman Daryl Strickland
said. Parents and guardians will be told of the arrest by letter and
phone, he said.
Pimental, 57 has worked for the Los Angeles Unified School District since 1974.
