A 22-year-old Long Beach school aide was arrested today on suspicion of possessing and distributing images of children being sexually abused, and police in Los Angeles were asking for other potential victims to come forward.
Jaylee Brackman worked with disabled children at the Long Beach Unified School District, according to the Los Angeles Police Department’s Harbor Division, which said officers served a warrant and arrested her Tuesday.
A spokesperson for the Long Beach Unified School District said Brackman was a contractor, not an employee of the district.
“This individual had been providing services at Hughes Middle School since January 2025,” the district said in a written statement. “Upon being notified by LAPD, the District immediately notified the outside agency that individual’s assignment in LBUSD was terminated.”
In a message to Hughes Middle School parents, the district said that “At this time, we have no information indicating any involvement of LBUSD students. According to the LAPD, the arrest was made for criminal conduct that occurred outside the school setting.”
Police said they discovered Brackman’s alleged activity while investigating a separate child pornography case.
The investigation will be presented to the Los Angeles District Attorney’s Office for filing considerations. In the meantime, she was being held without bail.
Because Brackman worked with children, police released her photo and asked that anyone who may have been victimized by her contact officers at 213-280-1501.
Police also announced Tuesday that a 37-year-old youth soccer coach arrested on suspicion of attempting to meet with a minor for sex has been charged with one count of possessing more than 600 items of child pornography.
Jared Crevar of Redondo Beach was arrested May 1 when members of the LAPD’s Harbor Vice Unit served him a warrant, officials said. Crevar worked with children as a coach in AYSO Region 17 in Redondo Beach, police said.
