Investigators have arrested a 25-year-old man who has been a
dance and drama teacher at several Orange County organizations
on suspicion of committing lewd acts on a boy for years,
starting in 2011.

For the past year and a half he has been working as a drama
teacher at Costa Mesa High School.

Brandon Jacob Nease, of Orange, was arrested Tuesday, Jan. 22,
at the school on suspicion of felony child molestation.

The victim was 13 years old at the time the molestation occurred
and only recently reported the alleged crimes, said Orange
County sheriff’s spokeswoman Carrie Braun. Braun said she could
not release more details about the crimes or where they took
place because of the ongoing investigation.

Nease has taught dance and theater at various organizations,
officials said.

From 2008 to 2016, he was the choreographer and director at

Musical Theater Village in Irvine; from 2012 to 2015 he was the
dance specialist at Camp James in Newport Beach; in 2013 he
taught dance at the Boys and Girls Club in Tustin and Fountain
Valley; and from 2015 to 2017 he was at Musical Theatre West in
Long Beach.

Newport-Mesa Unified School District officials said Nease has
been put on administrative leave.

“Based on information provided to us by the Orange County
Sheriff’s Department, we do not believe this matter involves any
current or former Newport-Mesa Unified School District
students,” the district said in a statement.

Nease posted $100,000 bond Wednesday morning and was released.

Anyone with information is asked to call the Special Victims
Detail at 714-647-7419. Those who want to stay anonymous can
