A College of San Mateo employee has been arrested on suspicion that he committed sexual acts with two underage girls, San Jose police said.
San Jose police said 52-year-old Richard Rojo turned himself in after an arrest warrant was issued. Rojo is the director of marketing and community relations at the community college.
Police said that in November, he met one of the victims on social media and then engaged in sexual activity with her and another juvenile. The two victims were 14 and 15 at the time, police said, adding that they were first tipped to the crimes a month later.
“The San Mateo County Community College District just learned of the charges against Richard Rojo this morning and is disturbed and shocked by this alleged conduct,” a spokesperson, Perla Rodriguez, said in a statement Monday afternoon, adding that Rojo has been placed on administrative leave without pay.
