A sports trainer at an elite private high school in San Jose is accused of sexually assaulting a 16-year-old student while treating her for an injury and recording the alleged attack, police said.
Kelvin Chiu, 31, who works at Archbishop Mitty High School, was arrested after the student reported the alleged abuse to the San Jose Police Department.
Police said a search of Chiu’s phone uncovered child sexual abuse material. Detectives are now investigating whether anyone else may have been victimized.
Chiu served on Archbishop Mitty’s athletic training staff, a connection identified through the address listed in police records. The private Catholic school charges about $34,000 in annual tuition and is known for its academic and athletic programs.
Although authorities have not identified the school by name in their investigation, the campus is located in the 5000 block of Mitty Way. Officers responded there at about 7:30 p.m. on Oct. 8.
The teenager told police that Chiu was treating her for a sports injury when the alleged sexual assault took place. She also said he used his phone to record the incident.

Detectives from the Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force obtained search warrants for Chiu, his home and his vehicles. Police said officers located him at his Fremont residence on Oct. 9 and searched the property.
Chiu was later arrested and booked into Santa Clara County Jail. The charges and allegations include annoying or molesting a minor, producing and possessing child sexual abuse material, and sexual battery.
Investigators said they have not identified any additional victims. However, police remain concerned that other students may have been affected because of Chiu’s position of trust at the school.
The Catholic Diocese of San Jose confirmed Chiu’s employment at Archbishop Mitty through Cynthia Shaw. Shaw said the student’s family contacted school officials on the night of the alleged incident.
Chiu has been placed on administrative leave, and the school is cooperating with law enforcement.
Shaw said counseling services would be available to students who need support as the school responds to the allegations.
“Our first concern is for the student and family, and for all of our students and families. We recognize the impact a situation of this nature may have on our students, and the school’s Counseling teams will be available to speak with students who may need additional support,” Shaw told CBS News Bay Area.
