A Southern California substitute teacher was booked for three sex offenses involving at least one minor, police say.

Carson resident David Vernon Prince, Jr., 28, was charged with contact with minor for sexual offense, distribution or showing pornography to a minor and possession of child pornography.

Police say that Prince worked as substitute teacher and assistant football coach in the Los Angeles and Long Beach areas. They did not disclose which specific schools he worked at.

“Investigators identified one minor victim within the City of Los Angeles,” Los Angeles Police Department said in a statement. “It is believed that there are additional victims.”

Prince allegedly targeted female minors. Authorities released a photo of Prince hoping that other potential victims come forward.

“Juvenile Division detectives are overseeing the investigation and releasing the suspects booking photo because they believe the suspect is responsible for additional, unreported sexual assaults,” police said.
