Sheriff: 'Sexual deviant' best friends, including student teacher, accused of sex with teens

SAN JOSE, Calif. -- Santa Clara County Sheriff's Office says two women, including a student teacher, are accused of having sex with underage boys. Investigators say the self-described "sexual deviant" best friends were arrested Thursday.

Talia Sisco and Tina Pourani are accused of having unlawful sexual intercourse with 15 and 16 year old boys. Investigators believe there may be other victims in Santa Clara County and are asking people to come forward with information.

Sisco was a student-teacher at Bernal Middle School at the time the investigation began, but detectives do not believe the victims were students at the school.

The Oak Grove School District ended Sisco's access to observe at the school, according to the Sheriff's Office. Investigators do not believe there are any victims from Bernal Middle School.

Sexual Assault investigators determined both suspects were 23 years old at the time of the sexual encounters, according to the Sheriff's Office.

"The protection of our children is always a top priority for our agency. I am grateful these predators were brought to justice. If there are other victims still out there, please come forward," said Santa Clara County Sheriff Laurie Smith.
