A janitor at a Hesperia elementary school was arrested Tuesday after being accused of molesting a six-year-old student.

Investigators located additional victims who corroborated the first victim’s claim, the sheriff’s department said in a statement.

Martinez had reportedly been working as a janitor at the school since 2005, and investigators believe there may be additional victims.
