A Hanford Joint Union High School District teacher was booked into a Riverside County jail last week for allegedly sending sexual images to a minor.

Arrested was 54-year-old Robert Duvall of Hanford.

Detectives said Duvall also is accused of having inappropriate conversations with three underage girls through electronic communication, Hanford Police Lt. James Lutz said in a release.

Duvall was off work and was staying out of the area, detectives said. An arrest warrant was issued and he was arrested in Rancho Mirage.

He was booked into jail Aug. 19 and bailed out on Aug. 20.

Anyone with information is asked to call Hanford Police at 559-585-2540.
