A former Burroughs High School employee is facing several sex charges allegedly involving two female students. Burbank Police arrested 23 year-old, Clarke Surrey, of Glendale last Thursday, June 4. BPD reportedly began an investigation after receiving a tip, according to a news release. Surrey is accused of having sex with two students, between the ages of 15 and 17, “from approximately 2011 to 2015.” Multiple incidents allegedly occurred off campus and the release claims Surrey “may have taken photos and videos at the time of some of the incidents.”
When the alleged offenses occurred, Surrey was employed as the Assistant Technology Director for the Theater Technology Group at Burroughs. He no longer works there. The two unidentified students have since graduated. Police say there is no indication of additional victims.
Surrey has been booked on the following charges: statutory rape, oral copulation with a minor, and possession of data, images, or other media showing a person under the age of 18 engaged or simulating sexual conduct.
