A video clip of a woman confronting a teacher who allegedly raped her when she was just 12-years-old has gone viral.
It shows Jamie Carrillo, 28, calling up her former basketball coach to ask her why she groomed and abused her when she was a vulnerable young girl.
In the Youtube video titled "A call to my rapist teacher', Ms Carrillo speaks into a webcam with a phone in her hand explaining who she is about to call.
She alleges that she was groomed and abused as a 12-year-old by her teacher – and that it is time for confrontation.
"Why did you do that?", Ms Carrillo asks a woman who answers as Andrea Carsosa, an assistant principal within the Alhambra Unified School District.
"I was only 12-years-old when I met you. You realise you brainwashed me and you manipulated me? And that what you did was wrong?"
Ms Carrillo confronts the woman with sexual abuse allegations and tells her she ruined her childhood.
She alleges that the abuse took place over several years in Riverside, east of Los Angeles, 16 years ago.
The woman who answers as Ms Cardosa, whose voice was recorded in the video, says: "I regret it."
She goes on to say that she wanted to help Ms Carrillo and adds: "That wasn't anything that I intended. I don't even know what happened."
In a separate interview Ms Carrillo described how Ms Cardosa first molested her in the girls locker room when she was the school's basketball coach.
Jamie said: "It's always eaten me up inside. It's always been on my mind.
"She started kissing me and then it turned to her putting her hands down my pants."
Jamie said Cardosa told her to keep it a secret and manipulated her into believing that she wanted it.
The 28-year-old mum-of-two said she came forward now to prevent the assistant principal from molesting any other children.
Jamie added: "She needs to pay what she's done and she shouldn't be around children."
Officials for the Alhambra Unified School District, where the teacher was working as an assistant principal, said they received an email on Friday with a link to the YouTube video, and immediately notified police.
"The Alhambra High School administrator was interviewed on 17 Jan 2014, and at the conclusion of that interview the Alhambra High School administrator tendered her resignation," the statement said.
The video has drawn almost 700,000 hits so far, since being posted on Friday.
Officers in Alhambra spoke with Carrillo to verify the authenticity of the video, then passed the case along to Riverside police, Alhambra police said in a statement.
"Our sexual child abuse detectives are working the YouTube incident," Riverside police spokesman Val Graham said.
"Statute of limitations will have to be discussed after the investigation is concluded between Detectives and the Riverside District Attorney's Office."
