Concord: Teacher Arrested for Rape of a Developmentally Disabled Adult Student

by ECT

CONCORD, CA – On December 7, 2017, Concord Police received a report of a teacher
at Loma Vista Adult Center who was allegedly having sex with a developmentally disabled adult student.

The student was enrolled in the Bridge Program which aids students in the development of their independent living skills, academics and more.

The suspect, identified as 55 year-old Daniel Gonzalez, was a teacher in the program offered through the Mt. Diablo Unified School District’s Adult Education Department.

The Concord Police Special Victims Unit led the investigation and determined the adult student had an intellectual development level of a young teenager and therefore, is considered a dependent adult. According to California Penal Code 261, it is illegal to have sex with a person who is incapable of consent due to a mental or developmental disability.

Based on the facts discovered during the course of the investigation, the school district was notified and the teacher was immediately placed on an administrative leave of absence.

SVU detectives arrested Gonzalez and he was later transferred to the Martinez Detention
Facility with a two million dollar bail amount. The case is pending review by Contra
Costa County District Attorney’s Office.

Detectives are taking steps to identify other potential victims. Anyone with additional information regarding Gonzalez, please contact the Concord Police Department Special Victims Unit at 925-671-3020.

Put all these sick fucks in general population, stop protecting them in prisons. Let the inmates take care of these kind of scumbags, maybe it will discourage some sicko down the road.
