SAN LUIS, Ariz. (KYMA) – A high school teacher was arrested for alleged sexual conduct with a minor.

27-year-old Genesis Alvarado, a digital photography teacher at San Luis High School, was taken into custody last Friday.

He is currently facing three felony charges, including luring a minor for sexual exploitation and sexual conduct with a minor.

The charges date back to March.

News 11 reached out to the Yuma Union High School District (YUHSD) regarding the arrest, and here’s what they had to say:

“Alvarado is no longer employed by YUHSD. San Luis High School immediately reported the allegations to the San Luis Police Department upon being notified, and the district took action to terminate Alvarado’s employment on August 7. The safety and well-being of all students is the district’s top priority, and YUHSD will continue to cooperate with law enforcement throughout the investigation.”

Alvarado is being held at the Yuma County Detention Center on a $200,000, and he is scheduled to be back in court Tuesday.
