More Information Released Regarding Arrested SAISD Employee

 

SAN ANGELO, TX — Additional information has been released regarding the San Angelo ISD employee who was arrested for having an inappropriate relationship with a student.

Abraham Gonzales, 24, was arrested on Wednesday, March 19, 2025, after he turned himself into the Tom Green County Sheriff’s Office.

According to court documents, on March 13, a witness was interviewed who said the complainant had disclosed to her recent interactions with Gonzales. The witness believed these were inappropriate because Gonzales is a teacher at Lake View High School.

The same day, the investigator spoke with the complainant, who described a “flirtatious” relationship with Gonzales. On two occasions, the complainant said she touched Gonzales’ genitals outside of the clothing.

On March 14, in a non-custodial interview with Gonzales, he confirmed the complainant had touched him twice.

The word victim was not used in the affidavit as this individual was described as the "complainant."

A press conference was held at the San Angelo Police Department on Wednesday morning. Watch San Angelo Police Chief Travis Griffith address the situation HERE.
