Mt. Whitney campus supervisor accused of molesting 15-year-old girl
A Mt. Whitney High School campus supervisor was arrested after he was accused of having an inappropriate relationship with a student, according to Visalia Police Department.
Visalia police were called to the campus Wednesday night following reports that a 15-year-old girl had exchanged nude photos and video text messages with Dejaun Jones, 37, a campus supervisor.
Youth Service Officers say he "inappropriately" touched the girl as well.

Jones was immediately placed on administrative leave by Visalia Unified.
Dejaun was arrested Thursday morning during a traffic stop, according to police. He was booked into the Tulare County Adult Pretrial facility on suspicion of child molestation.
