As per law enforcement officials, Estevan Reyes from Fresno, California, has been a counselor with Clovis Unified School District since May 2016. Reyes was reportedly hired as a counselor at Clovis High School in July 2022.

A Linkedin page that appeared to belong to the suspect showed that Reyes was employed as a school counselor at McLane High School in Fresno before joining the Clovis Unified School District.

This isn't the first time a Clovis High School teacher was busted for having inappropriate relations with a minor. Last year, Clovis High School teacher Amanda Hubble was arrested after getting s*xually involved with one of her 17-year-old students.

Hubble was exposed after the student was caught sneaking home following an encounter with the teacher. The 17-year-old was reportedly confronted by his father, who then learned that his son was involved with his high school teacher.

Investigators said that the boy described at least two encounters with Hubble. One of the liaisons reportedly occurred in Hubble's car in November 2021 and another transpired at her home two days before the arrest. At the time, Legal analyst Tony Capozzi told ABC News:

"Here's a school teacher who, really, it's forbidden to do what she did. He is 17 years old, close to being an adult, but he's not an adult. She should've known better. There's no question about that."

Hubble, who pleaded not guilty to four felony s*x charges, was dismissed from the Clovis School District following her arrest. Her teaching credential was also suspended over the misconduct.
