EL DORADO COUNTY, Calif. - A 34-year-old teacher at El Dorado High School was arrested Thursday by the El Dorado County Sheriff’s Office (EDSO) for multiple violations.
An investigation began after a former student of James Eduardo Bourdett came forward and said she had a sexual relationship with him in 2017 when she was 17-years-old. At the time he was a teacher at Natomas Pacific Pathways Charter School in Sacramento.
The former student said she and Bourdett met repeatedly at his home in Cameron Park over a six-month period.
At the time of his arrest on April 11 Bourdett was employed as a teacher with El Dorado High School. There has been no evidence found of any other victims linked to Bourdett.
He was booked into the El Dorado County Jail in Placerville on $100,000 bail. He was later released on the same day.
