An award-winning elementary school teacher in San Diego's South Bay was arrested Tuesday on child sex abuse charges, according to the National City School District.
Jacqueline Ma, a 6th-grade teacher at Lincoln Acres Elementary School, faces three counts of lewd and lascivious acts with a child under 14, and three counts of oral copulation with a child under 14, according to San Diego County Sheriff's Department records.
Ma, 34, was booked at the Las Colinas Detention and Reentry Facility, according to the sheriff's department.
District Superintendent Leighangela Brady sent NBC 7 a statement Tuesday evening confirming Ma was arrested on campus at around 8 a.m., away from students. The district is only aware of one alleged victim and they are no longer a student in the district, according to Brady.
Investigators have not detailed when the alleged abuse occurred. The National City Police Department launched the investigation after a parent reported Monday concerns her 13-year-old child possibly had an inappropriate relationship with a former teacher.
