Conroe, Texas -- A first-grade teacher was arrested on an aggravated sexual assault of a child charge, Local 2 reported Monday.

Investigators said Jorge Landeros, a teacher at Anderson Elementary School, 1414 East Dallas, in the Conroe Independent School District, was arrested on Friday after a parent filed a complaint Wednesday.

Neither school officials nor Conroe police would tell Local 2 where the alleged assault occurred or the specifics.

Landeros was arrested off-campus.

He posted a 15,000 bond Sunday and was released from jail. Aggravated sexual assault of a child is a first-degree felony.

A letter was sent home with students Monday, but it did not mention the charge. The letter stated that Conroe ISD and the police department were investigating a complaint on a teacher.

Parents were upset at the news.

"My kids go to school at Anderson school and this is shocking because you don't want your kids to be in a school where there's a teacher who has these charges," said Yolanda Huerta, a parent. "It's just scary."

Landeros has been with Conroe ISD since August 2003.

Local 2 worked on this story through their local newspaper partnership with Houston Community Newspapers and the Conroe Courier.
