(07/03/08 - Initial BBT Report)
Joshua Edward Hoffman, 26, a teacher at Manzanita Elementary School in Redding, California has been arrested on allegations that he molested three of his former students.
Hoffman has been charged with six counts of child molestation and reportedly was initially being held on a $500,000 bail.
Hoffman came to the attention of authorities in June after two girls told school officials about having been inappropriately touched by Hoffman and school officials called police. The other girl alleged she had been touched inappropriately the same day and in previous incident a few weeks earlier.
Reportedly Hoffman, then 19, was arrested by Glendora police on suspicion of touching an 11-year-old girl in 2001. The case was dropped by the Los Angeles County district attorney’s office.
Reportedly Hoffman passed all background checks required to be performed prior to beginning working for the school.
