   AMERICAN CANYON, Calif. (KGO) -- A Physical Education teacher from   
   American Canyon High School is behind bars, accused of multiple sex   
   crimes against a female student. The principal is on leave due to the   
   current investigation.   
      
   Wednesday evening, the school district held a meeting to inform and   
   update parents on the case.   
      
   Brad Rowell has been charged with multiple felony sex crimes against a   
   female student.   
      
   Parents ABC7 News spoke with at this districtwide community meeting   
   Wednesday night learned that Rowell has been charged with 21 felonies.   
      
   "Our son said that he was actually a really nice guy and a lot harder on   
   the guys - the boys - and had a very good relationships with a lot of   
   the girls and was very like friendly and buddy buddy with them," said   
   Jordanna Howard who is a parent in the district.   
      
   "My son - when this initially happened I said, 'what's the deal?' He's   
   like 'I don't know he seemed cool, he seemed like a nice guy, but he was   
   very friendly with the female students,'" said another parent Jeffrey   
   Fredeen.   
      
   Court documents say the alleged crimes began sometime last summer and   
   continued until last week. The victim is said to be 15 and 16 during all   
   of this. The Napa County Sheriff says Rowell was first arrested on April   
   9 after the school resource officer looked into the matter.   
      
   "He came across some very disturbing evidence where it pushed it past   
   the rumor realm and pushed it in the evidence realm, and then the   
   decision was made to immediately arrest him," says Napa County Sheriff   
   Oscar Ortiz.   
      
   Rowell was bailed out and then arrested again on April 12 when   
   authorities say more evidence surfaced. He is currently still in jail.   
      
   Superintendent of the Napa Valley Unified School District Rosanna   
   Mucetti spoke at this meeting. She says the alleged sex acts are   
   believed to have occurred on the American Canyon High School campus in   
   the weight room, in a vehicle, and in a janitorial closet. She addressed   
   her concerns Wednesday night.   
      
   "It's extremely concerning. It's absolutely unacceptable to us so we are   
   going to look at our systems," said Mucetti. "We are going to   
   investigate the matter comprehensively and thoroughly."   
      
   The complaint also says that Rowell was in possession of material that   
   showed a minor engaging in sexual conduct. Parents said the details in   
   this case are painful to hear.   
      
   "Heartbroken 'cause this is such a tight-knit community," said parent   
   Jordan Donaldson. "We have such great parents and students that this   
   should not have happened."   
      
   Now law enforcement is trying to determine if there are any more   
   victims.
