A 43-year-old teacher was arrested in Valley Village Thursday on charges relating to the sexual assault of a minor.
According to a statement by the Los Angeles Police Department, Colleen Jo Matarico “groomed and sexually assaulted a 13-year-old victim in her classroom, and later convinced the victim to have sexual intercourse in her vehicle.”
Matarico has been charged with five counts of lewd acts with a minor, two counts of lewd acts with a minor 14 or 15 years of age, and one count of furnishing marijuana to a minor.
According to the Los Angeles Police Department, Matarico is being held on a $1.3 million dollar bail.
A social media account which appears to belong to Matarico states that she is a special education teacher with the Los Angeles Unified School District.
