FAIRFIELD, Calif. — A Fairfield Police Department school resource officer was arrested and placed on administrative leave after allegations surfaced that he exchanged inappropriate texts and photos with two female students under the age of 18, the department said Saturday.
According to the Fairfield Police Department, one of the student's parents notified officers about the texts and photos on Friday. The Solano County District Attorney's Office took over the investigation and arrested Louis on Saturday morning.
Officials booked Louis into Solano County Jail on suspicion of sending, distributing, or exhibiting harmful or obscene material to a minor, contacting or communicating with a minor with the intent to commit a sex crime, and knowingly transporting, duplicating or possessing child pornography or other obscene material with the intent to distribute or show it to others.
In a statement, the Fairfield Police Department promised to be transparent throughout the process.
"This department holds our officers and professional staff to a high standard of care, and we are simultaneously disappointed, infuriated, and saddened by this information," the statement said. "This department values the trust instilled in us by our community, not only to keep you safe, but to keep your children safe. Acts like these violate that trust, are wholly inexcusable, and fail to exemplify what Fairfield Police Department stands for."
