Aaron Westbrook
A Capistrano Valley High School teacher is accused of having sex with one of his underage students.
25 year old Aaron Westbrook, a social science teacher at the high school, was taken into custody on the campus Monday after school officials called authorities, said Jim Amormino, spokesman for the Orange County Sheriff's Department.
School officials say they became aware of the incident when another student, a friend of the victim, told a teacher about the alleged sexual encounter which is believed to have taken place at Westbrook's former San Clemente home.
Authorities would not disclose the girl's age because it might identify her, but she is 14 to 17 years old, Amormino said.
The encounter with the student is believed to have been consensual, but against the law because the student is a minor, Amormino said.
"It was consensual but still unlawful," Amormino said. "A teacher should know better. Anyone in that position should know better."
In addition to being a science teacher at the school, Westbrook is also listed as the coach for the school's surf team and an assistant girls' volleyball team.
