Stanislaus County Sheriff Special Victims Unit detectives have arrested a long-time Modesto City Schools employee for allegedly trying to meet with an underage juvenile for a purported sexual encounter.

Earlier this month, while conducting a follow-up investigation into an anonymous tip, detectives staged a meet-up between 63-year-old Riverbank resident Kevin Morgan and an undercover detective posing as a 13-year-old child. The two had been in contact with one another over the course of a week’s time and were using an undercover social media account screen name and handle. The arrest and agreed upon meet-up place was at Beyer Park in Modesto.

According to investigators, the plan was to relocate to Morgan’s home, where the adult and child were to engage in specific sexual acts at his home residence. The arrest was made without incident, and the investigation later reconvened at Morgan’s home. Personal electronic communication devices were seized for further forensic screening.

This is an ongoing and active investigation; authorities said more details can and will be made available as they uncover more. Morgan was a campus supervisor with the school district at Mark Twain Junior High. No children were contacted or otherwise harmed while the SVU officers conducted this follow-up.

Should members of the public have additional information to share with detectives, as it pertains to encounters which may have taken place at the school, they urge parents to reach out to school district administrators and authorities with Modesto Police. Morgan was booked on three separate felony charges of sending harmful material to a minor with the intent to seduce. Those charges specify certain specific prescribed sex acts. He was placed in custody in lieu of $575,000 bond awaiting further court proceedings
