(AUHSD) recently announced that school officials have begun the process of ******* Graves, who is now on administrative leave.

Manly, Stewart & Finaldi, the law firm representing the two victims, told Fox News Digital that the ****** began in 1986, while Grave taught at Loara High School in Anaheim. The teacher would have been around 23 or 24 years old at the time.

Both of the women were 16 when they were ********* abused. One of the victims, who asked to be identified as Reiko, told FOX 11 Los Angeles that she gave birth to Graves’ child when she was 17.

Steve Graves, 61, works as a band director at Lexington Junior High School.

Reiko transferred to a different school after becoming pregnant and giving birth. Nearly four decades later, Reiko connected with the other victim through social media, and the two began sharing their stories.

The Anaheim Police Department is involved in the investigation, but no charges against Grave have been filed yet.  The women are planning to pursue a civil suit against him.

Attorney Morgan Stewart told FOX 11 Los Angeles that he has proof that supervisors “knew that [Graves] was a predator and yet kept him on and kept him on for the past 30+ years,” but has not released the evidence publicly.

One of the victims, who asked to be identified as Reiko, told FOX 11 Los Angeles that Graves fathered her child when she was still underage.

In a statement shared with Fox News Digital, the AUHSD said that it was “shocked, saddened, and upset,” to learn of the “credible allegations.”

“Once the District became aware of this situation at the end of August, Graves was placed on administrative leave and removed from campus,” the statement added. “AUHSD has been fully cooperating with the Anaheim Police Department as they investigate this incident to identify any other possible instances of inappropriate behavior, harassment, or ******* misconduct by Graves.”
