FOX26: Villegas ignores local media questions about rehiring sex abuser

In case you missed it, FOX26 is investigating Randy Villegas’ time as a board member for the Visalia Unified School District.

As a board member, Villegas voted to approve the rehiring of DeJuan Jones, who was fired a decade earlier for sexual misconduct allegations. DeJuan Jones went on to engage in similar conduct following his rehiring, which was approved by Villegas.
