Teacher, Officer Accused Of Sex Crimes With Girl
Fri., Feb. 8, 2008
TURLOCK, Calif. - A police officer and a teacher are both accused of having inappropriate sexual contact with a 17-year-old girl, Turlock police said. Carl Kubicek, a math teacher and football coach at Pitman High School, and Officer Jorge Cruz were arrested, Turlock Police Chief Gary Hampton said.
Kubicek and Cruz didn't know each other, police said.
"It's some of the most egregious conduct that one can consider -- an officer and a teacher to violate the trust that any community member puts in them is not only illegal, but it really strikes of immorality," Hampton said. "Words can't express how sorry I am as the police chief that this has happened in our community.
It is a scar that the police department will now live with."
Kubicek, 35, faces multiple counts of unlawful sexual intercourse with a juvenile and multiple counts of oral copulation, according to the chief.
Kubicek confessed to contact with the girl, which occurred over several months, Hampton said.
The same victim allegedly was assaulted by Cruz, who apparently used coercion and fear intimidation through his position, the chief said.
The girl was allegedly raped by Cruz and became involved with Kubicek a few months later, police said.
The officer was charged with rape, sodomy and kidnapping while under the color of authority, Hampton said, and he has been placed on leave.
Both Cruz and Kubicek are being held at the Stanislaus County Jail.
Cruz is being held on $50,000 bail, Royjindar Singh from the Stanislaus County Sheriff's Department said.
Kubicek has been placed on administrative leave, the district said.
Hampton said police were contacted by the girl's mother, who said she noticed a change of behavior at home.
The victim is scared and upset but in good condition, Hampton said.
The girl trained in the Turlock Police Department's Explorer program, authorities said.
Psychologists and counselors will be at Pitman High School on Monday to help students and faculty, the district said.
Superintendent William H. Gibson said he thinks the case against Kubicheck is a unique, isolated case.
Cruz was arrested by the Stanislaus County district attorney, and the teacher was arrested by the Turlock Police Department, Hampton said.
Every single day in this country another story like this comes out. A teacher and a policeman both useing the same teenaged girl to commit sex offences for months before being caught.
How many stories like this do I need to post before people will realize that someone convicted of a so called sex offence is not some trench coat wearing low life and can be ANYONE.
From skid row bums to doctors and lawyers to your girls grandfather are the ones MOST LIKELY to commit sex offences. Wake up and smell the fucking coffee America!!!!
