SHERMAN OAKS (CNS) — Police are seeking additional victims of a 52-year-old Sherman Oaks high school teacher who was arrested on suspicion of child molestation.
Jason Scott Bissell was arrested on Aug. 26 after the Los Angeles Police Department received and investigated a report of “alleged ongoing inappropriate sexual conduct,” according to a department statement.
Further details on the allegations against Bissell were not immediately available.
Bissell was booked at the Van Nuys Community Police Station jail, then assigned permanently to the Twin Towers Correctional Facility. His bail was set at $710,000, and he is set to appear in court on Oct. 12.
At the time of his arrest, Bissell was a teacher at Notre Dame High School — a private school, not part of Los Angeles Unified School District — according to the LAPD. He began at the school in 2006.
