Garden Grove police say Hong Luong, 52, who teaches at St. Callistus and St. Columban's, is accused of touching children inappropriately.
GARDEN GROVE – A tutor and part-time teacher was arrested Friday after police said that at least four students accused him of touching them inappropriately.
Garden Grove police say 52-year-old Hong T. Luong, who teaches music and choir at St. Callistus and St. Columban’s Catholic schools and tutors at Paramount Learning Center, is accused of lewd conduct with children.

Three 8- to 10-year-old girls from the tutoring center reported early last month that Huong had touched them inappropriately, according to police. The investigation later expanded to include the Catholic schools when a student from St. Callistus approached authorities about a similar incident at an after-school event.
Schools have started notifying parents of the accusations, and those with questions or concerns have been encouraged to contact police.
Detectives assigned to the investigation and school officials could not be reached for comment before publication.
