Redwood City Teacher's Aide Charged For Sex With Student

REDWOOD CITY (CBS SF) -- A Redwood City high school teacher's aide was arrested for having a sexual relationship with a 15-year-old student when an anonymous tipster forwarded a video of him shaving the student's pubic hair to the school's vice principal, prosecutors said Tuesday.

Gustabo Rodriguez, 22, has been charged with four counts of felony oral copulation with a minor. He made an initial appearance in court on Monday, according to the San Mateo County District Attorney's Office.

Rodriguez was a part-time teacher's aide at Sequoia High School in downtown Redwood City and while working there allegedly had oral sex with the victim, a 15-year-old boy, four times at his Redwood City home earlier this year.

At one point, he allegedly made a video of himself shaving the student's pubic hair without his knowledge, according to prosecutors.

The affair was exposed when the video was anonymously emailed to the school's vice principal, who turned it over to Redwood City police on Friday. Rodriguez was arrested and charged.

The identity of the anonymous tipster is a mystery, according to prosecutors. Rodriguez remains in jail on $300,000 bail and is set to return to court on Aug. 10.
