Jacqueline Ma faces more than a dozen charges when she appears in court, expected for this afternoon.
A National City educator who was once awarded San Diego County's Teacher of the Year is expected in court Monday to face child sex abuse and child pornography charges for what law enforcement is investigating as an alleged relationship with a 13-year-old former student.
She posted bail but was re-arrested days later on additional felony charges, including tampering with a witness, National City police said. The second arrest came after NCPD detectives surveilled the former teacher and said they developed probable cause. Ma was arrested in the 3300 block of National Avenue in the City of San Diego and has been held at Las Colinas Detention Facility ever since.
Ma was expected in court on Monday to face more than a dozen charges, including three counts of lewd and lascivious acts with a child under 14, and three counts of oral copulation with a child under 14. Ma also faces charges pf child pornography possession, sexual exploitation of a child, and preventing or dissuading a witness or victim, according to San Diego County Sheriff's Department records.
National City Superintendent Leighangela Brady confirmed Ma was on leave and would not be returning to campus amid court proceedings.
