( John Ransom , Headline USA ) A former San Francisco public school teacher was charged with 29 counts of child molestation by the Contra Costa County prosecutors on Friday, highlighting concerns that were addressed by an anti-grooming bill passed in Florida recently .
Anessa Paige Gower, 35, is now behind bars after being arrested, pending the posting of $2 million in bail, said local KRON4 News .
Gower is a former biology teacher at Making Waves Academy, which is a public K-12 school in the Contra Costa public school system, according to the state of California’s Department of Education .
At least seven minors between the ages of 15 and 16 have accused the former teacher of “numerous sex acts, inappropriate touching and shared sexually graphic photos over online platforms between 2021-22,” said the local district attorney’s office, according to KRCA .
But court documents indicate that the charges against Gower also include statutory rape, lewd acts with a child under the age of 14 and sending harmful matter to a child with the intention of seducing them, also known as sexual grooming, said the East Bay Times .
Because of the youth of the victims, the identities, ages and genders of the victims aren’t known.
However this is not the first molestation case that the public school has faced.

They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
