Teaching Asst. Arrested for Sexual Contact with Boy

(Stockton, California) A 50-year-old sign-language teaching assistant with the Stockton Unified School District, Vickie L. Kerby, was arrested for allegedly having sexual contact with a 15-year-old boy.

It's reported that a security guard at a railroad yard caught Kerby and the boy steaming up the windows of an SUV and notified authorities. The 15-year-old is reportedly not one of Kerby's students. She has been placed on paid administrative leave by the school system.

Kerby was arraigned Monday on charges of lewd and lascivious acts with a child. She was booked into the San Joaquin County Jail and held in lieu of $225,000 bail.
