(Simi Valley, California) A 32-year-old teacher formerly at Garden Grove Elementary School, Malia Brooks, has been accused of sex crimes involving a minor.

Brooks faces allegations of lewd acts upon a child and four other sex-related counts, including one in which the title of the charge says it involved a person under the age of 14.

Brooks is expected to be formally charged at 9 a.m. Wednesday, authorities said. Simi Valley police scheduled a news conference Wednesday, also at 9 a.m.

Brooks was placed on administrative leave earlier this year while police and school officials investigated claims the Garden Grove Elementary teacher had had an inappropriate relationship with a student.

Brooks was booked into custody with bail set at $2 million.
