A married Southern California teacher was arrested for allegedly having inappropriate sexual relations with her students — and police believe there may be even more victims. 
Samantha J. 
Watson, of Eastvale in Riverside County, was booked into jail on Friday on charges of sending harmful material to a juvenile, oral copulation and digital penetration, according to authorities. 
She was taken into custody without incident. 
The alleged sexual assault took place between 2017 to 2018 while Watson was a teacher at a charter school in Moreno Valley police say. 
The teacher shares a six bedroom $1.2 million home in Eastville with her husband Willie 
The investigation into Watson’s alleged crimes began on January 28, 2026, after allegations surfaced of inappropriate contact with a student. 
The Riverside Sheriff’s Special Victims Unit was notified. 
Police say the investigation is ongoing and that there could be other victims.
