Estancia, NEW MEXICO



Feb 15, 2008 - Grey Nevelos, 56, a physical education teacher and long time track coach at Estancia High School, was arraigned on seven felony counts Friday after a three-month investigation.

He is charged with four counts of criminal sexual contact with a minor and three counts of contributing to delinquency of a minor. Rumors began to circulate in the high school about misconduct. The school launched an investigation and turned information over to police.

Nevelos is accused of inappropriately touching two girls while they were nude and offering them alcohol. The crimes are alleged to have happened in 2006 and 2007. The school put Nevelos on leave in 2007, but he was formally charged on Friday.
