Brea High School Teacher Accused Of Having Sex With Male Student

FULLERTON (CBSLA.com) — A Brea high school teacher has been accused of having sex with a 17-year-old male student, according to the Orange County district attorney's office.

Michelle Lynn Johnson, 45, of Anaheim, was charged Tuesday with six felony counts of oral copulation of a minor and three felony counts of unlawful sexual intercourse. She's currently out of custody on $20,000 bail and is expected to be arraigned Wednesday.

Johnson, who reportedly worked as a math teacher at Brea Olinda High School before being placed on leave, allegedly engaged in a sexual relationship with the victim between April and June.

The inappropriate behavior occurred on multiple occasions outside of the school and on campus, said the district attorney's office.

The victim's parents contacted police after they became suspicious of their son's relationship with Johnson.

If convicted of the charges, the suspect faces a maximum sentence of eight years and four months in prison.

Anyone with information on Johnson was encouraged to contact Supervising District Attorney Investigator Paul Carvo at (714) 347-8794 or Brea Police Department Det. Debbie Stark at (714) 990-7638.
