A local Consumnes Oaks high school teacher has been arrested on charges alleging sexual assault against a student.
Charges of Sexual Assault
High school social science teacher Monte Antonio Reed was taken into custody by police last Thursday in Long Beach CA. He was arrested on several charges, including five felony counts for sexual assault on a minor. Reed has been brought back to Sacramento and was arraigned at the Sacramento Superior Court yesterday. He is scheduled to appear in court in early November.
What Happened?
Reed, who had been under investigation since April after law enforcement was notified by the Elk Grove Unified School District, allegedly had sex with a 15-year-old female student on several occasions and is suspected of molesting two other 15-year-old female students. Reed has been charged with five felony counts and two misdemeanor charges.

Resources for Survivors of Sexual Assault
Rape and sexual assault are heinous crimes and should be punished. If you have been abused in a sexual assault, seek medical attention as soon as possible. Medical professionals have the training to treat your injuries and collect evidence if you decide to report the crime. Survivors are sometimes initially unwilling to report sexual assaults for many of reasons including shame, guilt, or fear of reprisals. In California there are no laws preventing a person form reporting an attack, and no time limit to report. Survivors of sexual assault can wait and use evidence collected by their doctors to report the crime to authorities after they have recovered. Law enforcement personnel, trained medical professionals, and an experienced lawyer can help survivors get the care and justice they deserve.
