Socorro ISD teacher arrested again, faces new charges of solicitation of minors

EL PASO, Texas (KFOX14/CBS4) — The Socorro ISD teacher accused of multiple counts of sexual exploitation of a child was arrested and released for a second time last Friday after posting bail.

Llojan Almaraz, a former math teacher at Captain Walter E. Clarke Middle School, was arrested for a second time on Sept. 20 and charged with two counts of online solicitation of a minor, jail records show.

These charges reportedly stem from a crime that occurred on June 3, 2024.

According to jail records, Almaraz posted $40,000 bail and was released the same day.

It was the second time he was arrested within a week. His first arrest was on September 14th. At that time, he was accused of child abuse, inappropriate relationship between educator and student, indecent behavior towards a child and sexual acts with a child.

In both cases, Almaraz was arrested by Socorro Independent School District police.
