Corona Teacher Arrested On Suspicion Of Having Sex With a Minor
A teacher in the Corona-Norco Unified School district was arrested and charged with having sex with a 17-year-old boy, the Riverside Press-Enterprise reported. Wendie Estrada Fernandez, 45, is accused of having unlawful sexual intercourse and oral sex with the high school boy and has also been placed on administrative leave.
The article also reported that Fernandez has been married to her husband 24 years and that they have four children. Her biography suggests that Fernandez was an accomplished student and teacher. It is quite obvious that a conviction in a sex crime case will not only jeopardize her job, but her entire career. If convicted, she may not only face jail time, but also be required to register as a sex offender and may not be allowed to work with children ever again.
Anyone who has been charged with a sex crime needs to retain an experienced and knowledgeable Riverside criminal defense lawyer who has what it takes to get them an acquittal. Sex crime cases are often complex. They often involve young “victims” who must be treated tactfully and sensitively.
