A 68-year-old San Bruno man is facing charges of contacting a minor for sexual purposes after he handed a note referencing a sexual act to a 16-year-old student at Peninsula High School in May, according to the San Mateo County District Attorney’s Office.
Gary Carson, who was placed on administrative leave from his position as a secretary at San Bruno Fire Department, pleaded not guilty to his charges Wednesday and remains out of custody on a $50,000 bail bond, according to the San Bruno Police Department and prosecutors.
Carson is said to have handed the teen a note with pornographic language while he was sitting in a car in the high school parking lot May 10, which prompted the student to tell his family about the incident the next day. Carson allegedly attempted to pass another sexually explicit note to the teen May 13 but was stopped by the teen’s aunt, who had been watching the scene from another car, according to prosecutors.
Carson will next appear in court July 25 for Superior Court review conference and his preliminary hearing was set Aug. 20, according to prosecutors.
