Horton's arrest puts him among a handful of teachers or workers at the school district who've been arrested for sexual misconduct. Three recent cases have already gone to court
This past February a judge sentenced former substitute teacher and ex-UNLV basketball player Cornelius "Corky" Ausbourne to 2 to 5 years in prison for having sex with two middle school students.
In January, former Chaparral High School teacher Kenneth Stacy pleaded guilty to having sex with a 17-year-old student. He's spending 180 days in jail and will be eligible to get out June 21.
In 2004, a judge sentenced Coronado High School custodian Nephye Acevedo Villatoro to 3 years probation for open and gross lewdness. He lured a 14-year-old girl into his car and exposed himself.
There isn't a day in any week you can't find a story about a teacher and sex with students. I ought to know. For five weeks one year, I collected news stories about a problem that is so pervasive that it's called "Passing the trash." moving teachers who are in trouble to another school, away from their accusers.
With their access to Lexis-Nexis, the news media could connect these dots as well.
If they wanted to.
