A San Francisco woman has been arrested for alleged “inappropriate sexual conduct” with a teenage boy, the Concord Police Department said in a statement Friday.
The woman, Sofia Ann-Buitron Drotts, was a temporary employee at Contra Costa County Health.
Concord police said they began investigating Drotts, 26, after receiving a tip from the Contra Costa County Probation Department.
Their investigation turned up evidence supporting allegations that Drotts had engaged in a sexual relationship with a 17-year-old in Concord, police said.
Drotts had been taken into custody on charges related to the alleged relationship, police said, and they had not identified any other victims.
Will Harper, a spokesperson for Contra Costa County Health, said in a statement that the department is aware that a temporary employee has been arrested, has “taken appropriate administrative action and is cooperating fully with law enforcement.”
Drotts could not be reached for comment.
