Fremont Resident Arrested for Sexual Assault of Minor at San Jose High School

San Jose Police arrested Kelvin Chiu, a Fremont resident and adult athletics trainer, after a 16-year-old reported he sexually assaulted her during treatment for a sports-related injury at an unnamed high school in San Jose on Oct. 8. Officers searching his home the next day found child sexual abuse material on his phone, and he was booked into Santa Clara County Main Jail. A police press release dated Oct. 14 warns that because Chiu held a position of trust at a school, there may be additional victims. Authorities ask anyone with information to contact the San José Police ICAC/Child Exploitation Detail Task Force at 408-277-3214.
