School staff notified the police after holding the supervisor as a “responsible party” for what he was being accused of. Police said Freeman forcefully confiscated the student’s phone. He then told her that the only way to get it back was to comply with his demands.
“The investigation further revealed that Freeman solicited sexual acts from the student,” the press release detailed. The man also allegedly held the girl in the classroom against her will and prevented her from leaving the room while keeping her phone.
“Freeman eventually returned the phone and allowed her to leave only after she acquiesced to some of his demands,” the Vallejo Police stated in the press release. The man was arrested and taken to the Solano County Jail.
He was booked into jail on the charges of soliciting lewd acts in public, false imprisonment, and robbery. The police department also noted how protecting students is and remains a top priority for them, while calling it a “core priority.”
