LAKE ELSINORE - A Temescal Canyon High School teacher has been
put on administrative leave after his arrest for allegedly
having an eight-month-long sexual relationship with a person who
at the time was a student at the school, officials said on
Sunday, Nov. 11.
"Until further notice, Mr. Strange will be placed on paid
administrative leave by the district pending investigation of
all allegations
and charges,'' Whitney D'Amico, the school's principal, said in
a statement posted on the TCHS website.
Deputies arrested Russell Strange, 54, of Canyon Lake at noon
Friday at the campus on suspicion of numerous crimes, including
having unlawful sexual contact with a minor, said Sgt. Brett
Seckinger of the Riverside County Sheriff's Department.
Investigators did not indicate how long ago the alleged
relationship took place, though the victim is now an adult and
no longer a student at the school, Seckinger said.
The allegations were reported to law enforcement on Oct. 25.
The school's website lists Strange in its staff directory as a
social sciences teacher, as well as an assistant coach for the
girls varsity basketball team and head coach of the girls junior
varsity basketball team.
D'Amico said the district was fully cooperating with
investigators and that Strange's students would be provided with
continuity of instruction when they return on Tuesday, following
the holiday weekend.
"Beginning Tuesday morning the district will augment TCHS staff
with extra district counseling and mental health support; they
will be available to students and staff members who have
questions and feelings about what has happened, and who may need
to talk in a confidential and safe setting,'' D'Amico said.
Strange has been employed by the school since at least 2012,
according to the website Transparent California. He was released
from jail on Saturday after posting $25,000 bail, according to
jail records.
Authorities urged anyone with additional information to call
Lead Investigator Argandona at the Lake Elsinore sheriff's
station at (951) 245-3300.
