SANTA FE (KRQE) – A Catholic school teacher accused of fondling young students is in even deeper trouble.
He’s been hit with another round of charges, accused of molesting four more students.
KRQE News 13 first told you about 47-year-old Aaron Chavez two weeks ago. He was arrested after a 6-year-old at Santo Nino Catholic School said he had touched her inappropriately. That student told her mom her art teacher was making her uncomfortable. She later claimed Chavez touched her genitals and buttocks while tucking in her shirt during an art class. News of his arrest led to a bigger case.
“Other individuals have come forward to the detectives to report inappropriate contact with children at the Santo Nino elementary school,” said Santa Fe County Sheriff’s Office spokesperson Juan Rios.
