Teacher poses as girl on Facebook to lure boys

Associated Press

ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) — Investigators say a male teacher has been posing as a Southern California girl on Facebook to lure boys into online relationships.

Anaheim police say 30-year-old Zachary Reeder convinced the boys to send him sexually explicit photographs of themselves.

It's not believed Reeder had any in-person contact with the boys

KCBS-TV says Reeder was arrested on Saturday.

Investigators are trying to determine if Reeder used his job as a history teacher at Servite High School to target victims.

Servite is a Catholic all-boys school.
