A 50-year-old Seal Beach man who allegedly engaged in lewd behavior in the presence of one of his student at Redondo Union High School was free on bail Friday, police said.
Media arts teacher Louis Jay Haddad allegedly met with a 16-year-old female student Thursday afternoon in his classroom, talked about sex and engaged "in a sexual act in her presence," said Sgt. Phil Keenan of the Redondo Beach Police Department.
The teen reported the incident to school officials who notified police and Haddad was arrested that same day.
He was booked at the Redondo Beach jail on suspicion of arranging a meeting with a minor for the purposes of engaging in lewd behavior and was released around 10 p.m. Thursday on $75,000 bail.
The married father of two has worked at Redondo Union High School for the past eight years and previously taught at Lynwood High School, authorities said.
Haddad is scheduled to return to court Jan. 14.
