He was charged Jan. 29 with aggravated sexual assault after a 13-year-old male student accused the longtime educator of molesting him. The boy said the abuse began when he was 11 and attended Price Elementary, where Alcoser worked as a vice principal before becoming principal of Carillo. The student claimed some of the incidents took place in Alcoser's office during the school day.
The student's mother made the complaint with police Jan. 16, according to affidavits.
At that time, investigators searched Alcoser's home and found two CDs that “depicted men having sex with adolescent male children” along with several pictures of Alcoser with other children, according to the search and arrest affidavits.
Two laptop and two desktop computers were sent to a computer forensic lab for analysis, and the additional images and files were found.
