Audit finds years-long backlog of investigations into accused teachers

The California Commission on Teacher Credentialing took years to begin investigations into a teacher accused of showing pornography to children and one seen kissing a student, according to a new audit.

Teachers who have been accused of showing pornography to children, kissing a student, or sexual harassment were not investigated in a timely manner by the state agency in charge of revoking education credentials, according to a state audit released Thursday.
