Southern California Teacher is Being Investigated for Reportedly Fathering a Kid With a Teenage Student

A Southern California teacher is under investigation for reportedly fathering a kid with one of his students.

The Anaheim Police Department identified the suspect as Steve Graves, age 61. Graves is presently employed with the Anaheim Union High School district.

On August 26, 2024, a lady told authorities that she had sexual contact with one of her instructors while attending Loara High School in Anaheim in the late 1980s.

Detectives conducted an investigation and identified a second lady who reportedly had sexual contact with the same teacher, Graves. She also informed police she had a child with him.

Both victims were juveniles at the time of the crime.

On August 29, the school system placed Graves on administrative leave. Anaheim police confirmed that they are in contact with him.

“Anaheim Police detectives are working with the Orange County District Attorney’s Office to determine what charges can be filed, if any, based on the statute of limitations,” officials informed me.

Graves has taught at Loara High School in Anaheim, Ball Junior High in Anaheim, and Lexington Junior High in Cypress.

The situation is still being investigated, thus no further information has been disclosed.

Anyone who may have been a victim of the suspect or has information about the case is encouraged to contact Detective Evenson at 714-765-1623.
