Deputies presented the case to the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office on Monday, and Elizarraraz was charged with six felony counts of lewd acts upon a child. 

"Based on the nature of the offenses, coupled with the facts that Ms. Elizarraraz has had contact with numerous juveniles in the course of her employment, detectives believe there may be additional unidentified victims," the release said. 

Detectives described Elizarraraz as a woman who is about 5-foot-6 and weighs around 205 pounds. She has black hair and brown eyes. 

Anyone who knows more or who believes they know a victim was urged to contact LASD's Special Victims Bureau at (661) 471-1519.
