A 41-year-old Wilcox High School teacher who resides in Hollister has been arrested and charged on suspicion of having a sexual relationship with a 17-year-old student, according to the Sunnyvale Police Department.
Sunnyvale police investigators arrested Edward R. Slate on Monday on campus at Wilcox High School, said Capt. Doug Moretto with the Sunnyvale department.
The police captain declined to disclose most details, but confirmed Slate is suspected of having the relationship with the student off campus in Sunnyvale “while the juvenile attended Wilcox.” Moretto declined to confirm whether the girl still attends the high school.
The Sunnyvale department had been conducting its investigation since May, Moretto said. Slate has been charged by prosecutors with “multiple counts” of sexual relations with a minor, he said.
Sunnyvale police worked with the Santa Clara Police Department and the Santa Clara County District Attorney’s Office on the investigation, he said.
