Southern California school board member (D) sent 'sexual messages' to minor, police say

A school board member in Brea has been arrested after he allegedly sent “inappropriate sexual messages” to a minor.

Christopher Becerra, 42, was arrested Thursday for possession of child pornography, molesting a child, and falsifying evidence or bribing or intimidating a witness, the Brea Police Department said.

Jail records show he is being held at the Intake Release Center.

Becerra, a member of the Brea Olinda Unified School District Board of Education, is alleged by police to have other victims who were “located and identified” during the investigation.

"Dr. Christopher Becerra, Board Trustee (Party affiliation not specified, but generally aligns with the Republican majority"

He also has four kids.

But school board elections don't usually require party affiliation which makes me wonder who made the effort to find out what the affiliation is. A scumbag is a scumbag regardless of party.

I used to get frequent questions about party affiliation. He was listed in the Orange County Democrats' website.
