Christian High Teacher Pleads Not Guilty to 14 Child Sex Abuse Counts

The school says law enforcement told them the case does not involve its students.

Overview

  • Kevin Conover, 49, entered a not-guilty plea Thursday to 14 felony charges including aggravated sexual assault of a child and lewd acts upon a child.
  • A criminal complaint alleges the abuse occurred between 2015 and 2019, beginning when the victim was 7 years old, and the sheriff identifies the victim as a family member.
  • He was arrested Tuesday outside Christian High School in Spring Valley and is being held without bail after no request for bail was made at arraignment.
  • If convicted on all counts and allegations, he faces up to 111 years to life in state prison.
  • Christian Unified Schools suspended him and notified families, stating investigators said the case does not involve the campus or its students, and commission records show he does not hold a state teaching credential.
