An investigation into the suspected inappropriate relationship between a male Gilroy High School faculty member, who was also a coach, and a female student has been suspended due to a lack of evidence, said police.
About two months ago, the Gilroy Unified School District received a report of the relationship and launched an internal administrative investigation, Superintendent Deborah Flores said. The district then contacted police, who launched their own criminal investigation.
The reporting adult said the relationship took place during the 2006-2007 school year, when the girl was a senior and younger than 18, police said. The girl graduated in May. Police would not disclose the name of the reporting party.
After interviewing the ex-student involved, police decided to suspend the investigation indefinitely, said Sgt. Jim Gillio.
“If potential evidence comes up, we will take another look at this case,” Gillio said. “Right now, there is no evidence of criminal activity.”
