A Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department deputy presented evidence on Wednesday linking Steven Andrews, the Lorbeer Middle School teacher accused of having sex with a 14-year-old former student, to a recorded conversation of phone sex with the alleged victim and a computer filled with child pornography. The deputy also revealed inconsistencies in the victim's interviews with police.

From the witness stand at the Los Angeles County Superior Court in Pomona, Deputy Sheriff Janet O'Bryan of the LACSD Special Victim's Unit explained what she had learned in one interview with the victim and in her investigation of the accusations against Andrews.  

O'Bryan testified that the victim told her the relationship with Andrews began in May 2011, with the girl meeting Andrews in his classroom at Lorbeer. In the following months, the victim said that she and Andrews had sexual intercourse on at least six different occasions in the accused man's vehicle, in his home, in a motel in Diamond Bar and at the victim's father's house.

After the investigation began, O'Bryan said that she told the victim to call Andrews and have what would amount to a normal conversation between the two while the deputy listened in. She said that while the two talked, Andrews asked the victim sexually explicit questions and indicated previous sexual encounters between the two.

O'Bryan also testified that she was given a computer by an informant at the school that contained multiple images of child pornography. The informant told O'Bryan that he had received the computer from Andrews, who had told him to hide the device for him.

Leonard Levine, Andrews' attorney, moved to have this evidence dismissed, saying that the sheriff's department investigators who pulled the images from the computer did so by looking in the computer's deleted files and were unable to give a date when the images were uploaded. He also questioned whether investigators could determine whether or not the computer actually belonged to Andrews.

However, Judge Bruce Marrs dismissed the motion, calling on another recorded phone call that O'Bryan had presented in which Andrews had not denied his ownership of the computer.

Levine also stated that the victim gave different answers to O'Bryan and the officer who initially interviewed her. Levine noted that the victim was not consistent in her answers about whether or not Andrews wore a condom when they had sex. He also said that the victim initially denied that she had had sex with Andrews at all.

The vicitm also was unable to give Andrews' address correctly, saying that he lived "off Red Tail Drive" in a gated community in Anaheim Hills. While Andrews does live in a gated community, Levine said, he does not live near this street.

Levine asked O'Bryan whether there was any DNA evidence of semen or other bodily fluids that would link Andrews to the reports that he and the victim had sex in Andrews' truck and the victim's father's home. O'Bryan said there was none.   

Throughout the hearing, Andrews sat motionless, only stirring to whisper to Levine or to shake his head at a few of the charges being levelled against him.

Andrews remains in custody on $450,000 bail. He is next due in court on February 15.
