Gleason Middle School Teacher Removed for Taking Photos of Girls, Source Says

Another day, another sex scandal for the L.A. Unified School District.

This morning we told you that claims of sexual improprieties at public schools were through the roof following the horrific allegations at Miramonte Middle School last month.

This latest case involves a teacher at Gleason Middle School in Tujunga, and L.A. Weekly has learned his name and even the apparent nature of the accusations:

Lydia Grant, the parents' representative on the Sunland Tujunga Neighborhood Council, told us that Jeremy Hules, an 8th-grade algebra teacher, is the instructor who, the district announced today, has been removed from his classroom.

She said it happened Wednesday after a supervisor came into his room and, in checking out a picture on the teacher's phone for an unrelated issue, ended up "swiping" through to other pics that showed the top and buttocks of two female students who were unaware they had been photographed.

The district wouldn't release the teacher's name or say that the action had to do with allegations that were sexual, however.

But one parent told City News Service that the accusations were indeed sexually oriented. Grant told us that several students she has talked to have complained about the teacher's behavior for months and even years.

But she did not say that anyone alleged he had touched them.

No arrest has been made.

Grant says the removal tops years' worth of problems at the school.

We've had problems at the school before and these problems wouldn't continue if the people did their jobs and were held accountable.

Things are not always what they seem. Do not judge when you don't know the "real" story. And to the writer of this article, you really should post only FACTS. It is unfortunate that all the people reading this that THIS article is full of BS. I think that students are getting a little too much power over adults in this witch hunt.

I agree Middle school girls can have active imaginations.. teachers are not allowed to  even be nice to students. very sad. bad teachers need to be gone and fast! however you have to see the proof of accusations.. and know the context.. things can be completely wrong and good intentions can be misunderstood.. very sad. good luck to the teacher if he did nothing wrong.. either way his name should not have been released until investigation was complete.

My oldest daughter had him 5 years ago. She said that everyone knows he is a pervert, but he never touched her. I am glad they removed him as I still have a child at that school. I wish I could pull her out but that is not an option at this time. LAUSD needs to examine everyone who is in contact with our children and start laying off the ones who are being reported instead of moving them around and promoting them. I also think they should get rid of any teacher who says they only teach to the State test! Yep, one of them said that at Back To School Night!

if your student had him 5 years ago why would you pull her out now??

I can't believe that students/parents are already jumping to conclusions before real evidence has been released... Goes to show that people will believe anything.. I feel sorry for this teacher .. Simple rumors can destroy reputation and 10+ years of hard work. However, if the rumors prove to be correct, I hope parents don't punish their kids by removing them school.

Why in the heck "if the rumors prove to be correct, I hope parents don't punish their kids by removing them school."

If the rumors were true, it would not be considered punishment to remove the students, it would be punishment to leave them in that situation.

He was a former teacher of mine. I am not at all surprised he finally got caught. Sick bastard made us girls sick over 10 years ago.

The school is named Mt. Gleason Middle School and although Lydia Grant is a member of the Sunland Tujunga Neighborhood Council, we were there today as parent advocates only. Our comments are our own and do not represent any opinions of the Sunland Tujunga Neighborhood Council in any capacity!
