ONTARIO, Calif. (AP) -- A substitute elementary school teacher was
charged Friday with lewd and lascivious acts involving a 10-year-old
girl, and police said he claimed to have molested more than 100 students.
Eric Norman Olsen, 28, of Ontario, told detectives that he molested
between 100 and 200 elementary school students since becoming a teacher
three years ago, said police Detective Diane Galindo. He was scheduled
to be arraigned Aug. 8.
Police said his resume shows that he has taught in different school
districts throughout San Bernardino, Riverside and Kern counties.
A phone number for Olsen's residence could not be located. It wasn't
immediately clear whether he had an attorney.
The probe began on June 13 after a male student allegedly witnessed
Olsen molest the 10-year-old girl and told school officials, Galindo
said. Olsen did not have a criminal background.
Police were asking the public to help identify whether there were other
possible victims by contacting local police or school districts.
