A University City High School science teacher and cross-country coach accused of trying to meet up with a teenage girl for sex will remain in custody without bail, a judge ordered Tuesday.According to a complaint filed in San Diego federal court, Stevenson exchanged text messages with an undercover law enforcement officer who claimed to be a woman sexually trafficking her 16-year-old cousin.
Stevenson's defense attorney, Dana Grimes, argued in court Tuesday for a bond to be set at $500,000, while Assistant U.S. Attorney Andrew Sherwood argued to keep Stevenson detained without bail.The prosecutor argued Stevenson was a flight risk due to the amount of prison time he is facing, as well as his potentially diminishing ties to the San Diego community and his profession over the allegations.
Grimes also said that despite the prosecution's assertions that Stevenson was a danger to children, there was no evidence presented regarding any actual sexual abuse of minors, including his students.
