Ex-Teacher Enters Plea; Molest Inquiry Widens

After charging a substitute teacher with molesting a 10-year-old girl at an Ontario school, authorities have received reports of five other possible victims in three school districts, police said Monday.

Eric Norman Olsen, 28, who has taught in Riverside, San Bernardino and Kern counties, pleaded not guilty Monday to three felony counts of committing lewd and lascivious acts on a child under 14. He is being held at West Valley Detention Center in Rancho Cucamonga.

Investigators said that Olsen told them that he had molested 100 to 200 female students over the last three years.

Ontario police have seized a computer, letters from students and photographs from his apartment that appear to “corroborate his confession,” a department spokesman said.
