Police in Syracuse, Utah have arrested a primary teacher on suspicion of child sexual abuse. He's accused of abusing 4 children in his class. Sandra Yi joins us with more.
The suspect is also a law enforcement officer. They say, that's what makes this case even more disturbing. The suspect, 32-year old Aaron Montoya, is a corrections officer with the Salt Lake County Sheriff's Office. He's also a Primary teacher in his L-D-S congregation. Montoya is accused of fondling 4 of his students, ages 5 and 6, during class. Police aren't sure if any of the other kids witnesses the acts. They say there were as many as 6 children in the classroom, and there could be more victims.
