An Oak Park mother has been accused of “providing drugs and alcohol to minor boys in her Oak Park apartment and engaging in sexual activity with them.” 

Superintendent Dr. Tony Knight and Director of Student Support and School Safety Stew McGugan alerted parents through ParentSquare on Thursday, Oct. 10.

According to the post, the information was received through the anonymous ‘Report It ‘ program and submitted by students at Oak Park High School. On Oct.1 the Ventura County Sheriff’s Office patrol deputy began investigating the rumor.

Information was turned over to County authorities and an arrest was made Wednesday, Oct. 9. Knight and McGugan have been working with the Ventura County Sheriff’s Department and Child Protective Services regarding this situation.

The parent has been identified as Amelia Utz and she has been released after posting bail. She is scheduled to appear in court on Oct. 25. 

In the Parent Square post, Knight described the situation as “incredibly disturbing and tragic.”

“We cannot overemphasize the importance of speaking up when you hear or see something that is suspicious,” Knight and McGugan wrote.

Knight and McGugan also wrote if anyone has “any further information about this matter or [has] any concerns or suspicions that this parent may have also victimized [their] student” to contact the Ventura County Sheriff’s Detective Darin Yanover at 805-494-8229 or “contact OPHS or MCMS administrators.
