Deborah Hoshiyama, known to some as Deborah Nicholson, is accused of having sex with an eighth grade student at a school where she taught in Avondale, Arizona. A warrant issued on October 20 by Maricopa County charged Hoshiyama with five counts of sexual assault of a minor for participating in a sexual relationship that lasted from 2007 to 2008.
Hoshiyama fled to Hawaii, but recently posted a photo to her Facebook page (which has since been deleted), showing her new teaching certificate, issued by the Hawaii Teacher Standards Board.
Hoshiyama had worked six days as a special education teacher at Voyager Public Charter School in Honolulu before Tuesday's arrest. She's now suspended with pay, according to Principal Jeff Vilardi, who told the Honolulu Star-Advertiser that she cleared three reference checks and a background check.
Hoshiyama's Facebook page has since been deleted, but HuffPost captured this screenshot.
Although the school hired Hoshiyama based on its protocol, Hawaii's Department of Education told the Star-Advertiser that she was not yet approved to work by DOE standards.
DOE Spokesperson Donalyn Dela Cruz said that Hoshiyama's review process had only just completed its first phase; Hoshiyama was not yet cleared for hire.
After the U.S. Marshals narrowed down her location, a task force consisting of U.S. Marshals, ICE-ERO Agents and Honolulu Police Department detectives arrested her at her Ala Wai home a little after 5 a.m. on Tuesday, according to Honolulu's KITV-4.
Hoshiyama is waiting to be extradited to Arizona.
