A Union City high school teacher has been arrested for allegedly having a sexual relationship with a 16-year-old female student, the latest Bay Area educator to face sexual misconduct allegations.
Peter Kolesnikov, a 38-year-old art teacher at James Logan High School, had a relationship with the student from March to November, said Union City police Cmdr. Ben Horner.
"The relationship began with kissing, then eventually led to sexual encounters in private residences and motels in Alameda County," Horner said Friday.
Kolesnikov was arrested Thursday as he was on his way to meet with the girl, who is now 17. He is being held at Santa Rita Jail on suspicion of statutory rape, oral copulation of a minor and communicating with a minor with criminal intent. His bail was set at $1 million.
On Wednesday, Livermore police arrested Granada High School math teacher Marie Johnson, 40, for allegedly having sex with a 14-year-old male student.
On Tuesday, San Jose police arrested Craig Chandler, 35, of San Jose on suspicion of sexually assaulting a student at O.B. Whaley Elementary School, where he teaches a combined second- and third-grade class.
