CAMARILLO (CBSLA.com) — An associate principal at Camarillo High School has been accused of inappropriately touching an underage female student, along with a female staff member.

Felix "David" Gallegos, 41, was arrested Wednesday and charged with four misdemeanor counts of child molestation and one misdemeanor count of sexual battery.  He remains jailed on $30,000 bail.

Both victims claimed Gallegos had sexual contact with them while on campus.
