Washington Preparatory High School Band Director Accused of Sex With Student

Corey Hogan, 32, arrested Monday, according to police

A high school band director was arrested Monday on suspicion of having unlawful sexual relations with a female student from a neighboring school, according to the Hawthorne Police Department.

Corey Hogan, band director for Washington Preparatory High School in South Los Angeles, allegedly had consensual sex with a 17-year-old student from Lou Dantzler Preparatory Charter High School.

The victim and her mother alerted police Monday to the alleged crime, which happened during the 2011 high school football season, according to police.

"The victim's dance team performed at a Washington High School football game on the day of the alleged incident, and after the game Hogan gave the victim and few other students a ride home," police said in a statement.

"After the other students were dropped off, the victim agreed to go to the Hogan's residence in Hawthorne, where she consented to having sex with him," said police.

The 32-year-old was arrested at Washington Preparatory High School on Monday and booked on suspicion of having unlawful sexual intercourse with a minor.

Hogan, who began his career with LAUSD as a substitute teacher in November 2005, was assigned to Washington Prep as a teacher-intern in September 2006, LAUSD spokeswoman Gayle Pollard-Terry said.
