Following reports from the mother of a female 14-year-old Sunny Hills High School (SHHS) student and a police investigation, local police placed SHHS boys’ JV basketball coach Elijah Kim (30, Fullerton) under arrest for committing lewd and lascivious acts with a minor under the age of 15-years-old.
The mother of the student contacted the school on Friday, January 10, to report that her daughter may have had unwanted inappropriate contact with Kim. SHHS staff immediately contacted the Fullerton Police Department to report the information they had received.
Fullerton Police School Resource Officers, as well as Fullerton PD Detectives, began an investigation into the allegations. Based on their investigation, at approximately 3:45 on January 10, detectives placed Kim under arrest.

If he graduated in 2014 at age 18 he would be 24. Definitely not 30. Is FUHSD trying to cover up negligent hiring, failing to vet?? If I can find it with a google search why can’t they???
