Stockton Special Education Teacher Accused Of Taking Teen For Sex

STOCKTON (CBS13) — A special education teacher has been charged with taking a teenager across state lines to have sex.

The U.S. Department of Justice indicted Rodney Flucas, 49, for transporting a 16-year-old girl from Oregon to California to engage in criminal sexual conduct.

Flucas worked as a contract employee for the Stockton Unified School District teaching deaf and hard-of-hearing students.

He was terminated when the district found out about the charges. The district released a statement saying he was always under the supervision and direction of teachers and was never alone with students in a classroom.

An investigation after his arrest found no evidence of inappropriate behavior with any students in the Stockton district.
