The initial accusations came to light Monday, when a parent of one of Ma’s ex-pupils contacted police to report that the teen had been having “an inappropriate relationship” with her, police said. Officials, however, declined to disclose further details.
“The National City Police Department will not be releasing any additional information about this case, as the victim is a minor and the investigation is ongoing,” officials said in the statement.
