Jose Bernaf Fanjul
Salt Lake City police arrested a West High School teacher suspected of sexual activity with a student.
The teacher identified as 45-year-old Jose Bernaf Fanjul was arrested Tuesday afternoon.
The Salt Lake Police Department Special Victims Unit worked with a 17-year-old victim and her father to bring the teacher’s arrest.
Our detectives waited until after school to make sure as few students as possible were around, said Lara Jones, Salt Lake City police.
Students say Fanjul was one of the favorites at the school. He taught at West High for the past three years. They say he often helped kids after class and was never outwardly inappropriate.
Fanjul was booked into the Salt Lake County Jail on multiple counts of forcible sexual abuse and forcible sodomy. He is on administrative leave while the investigation continues.
This is the second sex scandal involving West High staff to hit the school in recent days. Just last week former counselor Marco Herrera was sentenced to up to 15 years in prison for having sex with a 14 year old girl.
