Gabriela Cortez, Teacher at Mayor's Roosevelt High, Allegedly Had Sex With 2 Students

Categories: Sex Crimes

Cortez was a Spanish teacher at Roosevelt High.
Seems like every day since the Miramonte Elementary scandal broke, there's a new pervy teacher revealed at an LAUSD campus.

But 42-year-old Gabriela Cortez, today's alleged child-sexer, is a little different, for two reasons. 1) She's a woman, and an attractive one at that; 2) She works at Roosevelt High School in Boyle Heights, the flagship campus in L.A. Mayor Villaraigosa's proud "Partnership for Los Angeles Schools" program.

Montebello police, who are handling the case because Cortez lives in Montebello, say the high-school Spanish teacher...

... had sex with two underage boys while working at Roosevelt. NBC LA reports:

A victim, who is now an adult, notified Montebello police on Feb. 15, alleging a sexual relationship involving himself and a teacher.

As a result of the investigation, a second victim, who also is an adult, was identified, police said.

UP NEXT: The mayor's special connection to Roosevelt High. Also, does Cortez' hotness make her behavior less vile?

What a bunch of hypocrites America has. There's nothing wrong with a female OR a male teacher having sex with a student. 'Violation of trust'? People will parrot whatever idea or phrase that's been given to them. It's consensual and it happens. There's no need to treat them in this way and on a national level. You're just upset, frustrated and puritanical. You didn't get it, so you want to make life tought for others. Also to blame are the parents who now say it's wrong. FYI your kids are also sexual beings. What a laugh that you will guard over them and shake your heads in disapproval at that. Perhaps you'll also check in on them to see that they're not masturbating. Or using porn. Because having sex after puberty is just so disgraceful and shameful. And you think you're much better off than Saudi Arabia. What a laugh. No wonder Europeans ridicule Americans all the time.

Whoever the dumba-- pukes are who told higher-ups they were getting play from this teacher, holy cow those dudes are idiots.  

When a "doable" lady teacher takes you on a field-trip to throw-down land, you keep your frigging mouth shut about it.  ...Then you find out if she's teaching summer school.

Is is just me or what?  I would have loved it if my high school Spanish teacher propositioned me. She was hot.  She always wore heels and skirts in class.  It was awesome. Oh and I would not have reported her to the police after the fact.  Please.

Funny I thought the same about mayor V...he is alway the first one in front of the camera bragging of all the accomplishments of his city...does he really think that the citizens haven't noticed he hasn't backed up his school district...I guess when the going get tough the tough don't always get going

There are individuals who hold grudges for years waiting for a perfect moment to grind the ax. What if an administrator was happy to oblige that grudge because the teacher rejected him or reported something amiss at the school? What if she's just an outspoken advocate for students or a union rep who knows the codes better than her bosses? As far as I can tell, she unmarried, self-contained with her tidy little tract house and a quiet lifestyle . She is a perfect victim. But she did bond out with 140k in a matter of hours, avoided speaking to reporters and appears to be holding it together in her mug shots. She probably believes the truth can set her free, which is probably true with the police who will drop charges as soon as the case becomes a sinker, which this one is either way. However, the police and courts are not motivated to convict her nor are they free to without meeting a standard of evidence Lausd doesn't have to meet.In fact, if the accusers admit to lying, LAUSD will still go after this teacher.She will be housed, harassed, and hurried out the door because she is earning top wages, a potential plantiff and it's open season on teachers.

Unfortunately, this is the scary truth,  After Miramonte, it seems everyone is looking for a scapegoat.

Well, what she did was wrong. It is illegal for teachers to have sexual contact with their students. Period. But that's if she did it. I have my doubts and here's why. A student emerges in the midst of a witch hunt to complain his pretty teacher seduced him when he was in HS. Another somehow follows his lead and the media leads with this story this morning yet not many details are forthcoming. We don't know how old these boys were when this happened, which we don't really know either. Miramonte is unflinching coverage of every detail from roaches to painful descriptions of how sperm flavored cookies taste. We now know every nauseating detail thanks to Dr, Phil and LA reporters despite some imperative to protect the prosecutor's case to keep Berndt from alluding conviction. lAUSD certainly made ever effort to undermine that to spare itself from liability. So how is it these " victims" are not filling in the blanks in tawdry scenarios that tend to swirl around sexy female.predetors?Notably the dates of these crimes are obscure. Gov Codes limit the time the district has to investigate and act on teacher misconduct to 3 or 4 years. It sounds like this students test with his Spanish teacher was about this long ago. What no one seems to be questioning is why he's suddenly decided to step up. Is it possible he coaxed the second accuser to back him up and that a few years ago something else was going on? We know that a female teacher is expected to tolerate sexual harassment. The court has said its part of the job. Older women are routinely degraded, discriminated against and driven out of positions by dangerous bullies who come in suits and baggy pants. Attractive young teachers are expected to deflect sexual overtures made by boys and men, their skills are marginalized by both sexes and their sexuality is a source of tension.How many randy teenage boys do you think hit on this woman during the last two decades she's been teaching at this school? At 42 she looks hot, so it's a sure bet she's been fending them off since she was in HS. It's not unlikely she caught the attention of an administrator or maybe notorious player Mayor Tony. As anyone with her good looks will concede, some people take rejection badly. Coukd this accuser be a personality disorder

Its sad that alot of "little boys" keep writing that had they been n those guys shoes they would have done the teacher too. Do u even bother to think that these boys not only now feel victimized but also have to deal with the grief they have brought upon their own family. This also must be a very devastating situation for this woman's family...who knows if she has children who now have to live with the fact that their mother is a sexual predator. Needless to say, she chose this path n has to pay for the consequences. Instead of writing stupid comments think about how many lives her mistake has effected.

I will never understand the boys and now grownup boys these days. The only way i would have even thought about talking is if she cut me off, but not even then.What a bunch of losers.

What this teacher did was wrong regardless if the 2boys @ the time consented to it...they were minors n as a parent we trust these ppl with the safety of our children. What I dont understand is why the victim waited to report her? I also attended RHS n knew of mx relationships between my peers n teacher's aides, security staff, n incl one of the probation officers...n even attended prom wit said ppl. Why didn't the principal, teachers, n other chapperones question it?

I feel sorry for her, these scum bags will pay. Someone in their future will screw them over really well. All of us men in HS wanted to have sex with a hot female teacher.

Let's not compare this incident to the Miramontes School. That's a whole different league. So double standard does not apply here!!! A teenage boy going thru puberty has a constent hard on. I used to perv and my teachers specially if they were hot

After contemplating, I  now believe she is totally innocent and should fight the heck outta this! She should sue the two boys who are now over 18 and the school district.

These guys are dumb and knew exactly that it was WRONG and they never complain until now. I went to RHS and I know of another teacher that had sex with my friend. They both agreed even though its wrong. I guess they liked it and now want to b*tch about it.

It is amazing that LA Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa was holding Press Conferences about running the LAUSD and then various others regarding his Charter Schools.

Why haven't we heard not one TWEET from him regarding these allegations on any of these teachers.

His silence speaks volumes.....

Yup, it doesn't count when its a hot teacher. Think about it, those boys had fresh material in their spank bank.

NOW ALL OF A SUDDEN THESE GROWN ASS MEN WHO PARTICIPATED IN THIS ARE COMING AT HER WITH THIS SHIT! MUST BE ABOUT THE VICTIM RESTITUTION FEES AND NOT ABOUT THE INCIDENT THEY CONSENTED TOO . SMH

After further investigating who this teacher is.  It turns out I know exactly who she is.  We grew up in the same Boyle Heights neighborhood just yards away from each other.  She's about 6 years older than I am and I know her family.  Now I'm just saddened for everyone involved.  What pushes a teacher to do this? I know the Miramonte case is very different but at the end of the day both are violations of trust and innocence.  No one involved in this case will be the same after today.  I just hope they find peace in their heart and ask God for forgiveness and help!

I know her too.  We went to college together and there is no doubt in my mind that these accusations are false.  It's a join the bandwagon effect.

I am sorry Rocio but the accusations are not false. My friend slept with her and had long relationship w/her while he was a student. Don't be deceived by this lady.

Did he tell you before or after you guys finished the bottle of tequila? Sounds like your buddy deceived YOU merchant marine man. I remember you guys.

This teacher was a good teacher, like it or not. She taught me AP Spanish Lit and she is known for having one of the highest AP passing rates in the entire district and I respected her passion for preparing us. And from this respect I will not cast stones and say that she is innocent until proven guilty.

Looks like you didn't learn anything about personal integrity during your years a a marine. Shame on you!

ChanceLaRue

Are you sure she's guilty? You know her, isn't this all the more reason to afford her some credibility. She's taught at the school for almost 20 years without any issues. Sounds like she is a solid professional and a law abiding citizen.

I was a student at RHS during the time she was there.  As crazy as it may seem. I don't think teachers should have ANY sexual interaction with students.  I don't know what I would have done at that age but now that I have a 13 year old son I'd be extremely upset to know of a sexual relationship. 

I'm sure most high school and recent graduates feel differently than I do.  Wait until you have kids.  Life has a way of changing your mind!

(sorry this platform is giving me grief) I am curious what you observed as her student. Did you suspect she was flirting or involved with other students in class? We're there rumors? Was she professional or pretending to be 17 ? The truth is you're a perceptive young person with a natural ethical compass. I suspect your memory of the teacher is relevant. Did students hit on her? If so what did she do about it?

There's a law that forbids teachers from having sex with students in Califirnia because it's a conflict of interest that compromises the unique trust a student has in his or her teacher. Even the students who are not involved in the use orconsenstual sex are betrayed by a teacher crossing this line. I am curious. Since you are so wise and happen to be

Wow ur unbelievable! Wtf do u think is going on? they r teens! she's an adult! She knows what she's doing is wrong so stfu and look at the bigger picture!

I agree. Something is amiss. 23 year old men don't equate an experience like this with the ugly molestation we are hearing about at Miramonte. They don't suddenly decide this is wrong and report her for what most boys would call a fantasy. Even if she did seduce the boy, it' s unlikely he'd identify with her in such a negative way. He was more likely to fall in love with her. He may have with or without sexual contact and she could have rejected him. I see the police being so quiet on this and think they already know this bogus but if they resist the perp walk and humiliation she must be publicly treated to, there will be an outcry of sexism. Kind of ironic. Really, reading posts is distressing because readers assume it would not be I print and she woukd never be in custody unless there was good reason to believe she did this.
