Douglas Trinkle, a Clark County special education teacher, has been arrested on suspicion of multiple sex crimes involving a minor. Trinkle was arrested on March 12 by Boulder City police and is listed as an autism specialist at Cimarron-Memorial High School in Las Vegas. The charges stem from statutory sexual seduction by a person over the age of 21, lewdness committed on a child 14 or 15 years of age, sexual assault against a child under 16, and two counts of child neglect or abuse. The allegations do not involve any students on the school.
