things are heating up in Anaheim! Steve Graves, a 61-year-old band teacher, is now under investigation for some pretty serious allegations. Two women from the 1980s have come forward, saying that Graves had inappropriate relationships with them when they were students at Loara High School.

Graves, who was recently teaching at Lexington Junior High, has been put on administrative leave. This whole situation kicked off when one of the women reported to the Anaheim police that she had an intimate relationship with Graves about 35 years ago. But that’s not all—detectives uncovered a second woman who also had a relationship with him, and she even had a child with him. DNA tests confirmed that Graves is indeed the father of that child.

So far, Graves hasn’t been arrested. The police and the Orange County District Attorney’s Office are trying to figure out if they can file any charges. Unfortunately, the statute of limitations might make it tricky. The DA’s office has said they can’t prosecute based on these allegations because they’re too old, but they’re keeping an eye out for any new information or other potential victims.

The Anaheim Union High School District is reeling from this news. They’ve started the process of firing Graves and are reporting the situation to the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing. The district is clearly shocked and upset, and they’ve assured the community that student safety is their top priority. They’re also encouraging anyone with additional information to get in touch with the Anaheim police or Crime Stoppers.

So, if you’ve got any more details or if you were a student at Loara High back in the day, you might want to reach out. This story is still unfolding, and it’s definitely one to watch.
