The indictment alleges that Peña groomed a female student at West Campus High School and developed an improper relationship with her in 2022.

An outcry by the alleged victim prompted a criminal investigation that uncovered phone conversations and evidence in Pena’s office, according to an arrest warrant affidavit

The alleged victim was 16 years old at the time and Peña was 32, the affidavit said.

Peña is no longer an employee of South San Antonio ISD.
