MODESTO – A teacher at Enochs High School in Modesto has been arrested for alleged misconduct.

Modesto City Schools confirmed on Thursday that Bryan Rogers was arrested off campus.

Rogers is listed on the Enochs High website as a social studies classroom teacher for grades 9-12. He has been employed by the district since the 2001-02 school year and has been a classroom teacher at Enochs since 2012.

The district didn't comment on what Rogers was arrested for, but Modesto police said he is facing charges of annoying or molesting a minor and touching a person intimately against their will for sexual arousal. Police also said they were notified on Monday about the allegations and took the report at the school.

It's unclear if the alleged victim is a student, however. 

Rogers is now on administrative leave, the district said, and has been restricted access to school property. Police said he turned himself in at the police station on Wednesday after a warrant was issued and Rogers was notified. 

Along with the police investigation, the district says they'll be doing their own comprehensive investigation.
