We were contacted on July 9th, 2020 by a woman in Austin who shared with us information and proof that she recently had a sexual encounter with Gilbert Fuentez.
Due to personal safety concerns she now has about Mr. Fuentez and her association with Austin ISD, she has asked us to shield any identifying information about her because she fears reprisals and for the safety of her children, especially now that Mr. Fuentez knows where she lives.
Our interviewer advised her to call police if Mr. Fuentez contacted her again and we agreed to protect her privacy.
Our interviewer spoke with her via Zoom the next day so she could show us her home security camera footage and the messages she and Mr. Fuentez exchanged shortly before he went to her home for a brief sexual encounter.
On July 6th, 2020, at approximately 3:15pm, Mr. Fuentez is seen on her home security cameras exiting his vehicle and entering her home. Approximately 30 minutes later, he is seen exiting her home, getting in his vehicle and leaving.
The messages she showed us demonstrated that they had been chatting on a dating hook-up app even before he agreed to go to her home on this day for sex and the messages clearly indicate that that was the purpose of his visit to her home.
She had previously visited this site about the TEA investigation soon after it was published to billboards in Austin, but had forgotten about it. When Mr. Fuentez arrived to her home, she thought he looked familiar but did not immediately connect that he was one of the educators in the TEA complaint; only remembering where she had seen his face previously a few days after their brief sexual encounter.
Once she remembered who he was, she revisited our site and reread several pages.
She was stunned that he was one and the same person and she reached out to us.
Our interviewer confirmed that the license plate and make and model of the vehicle he was driving in her home security cameras belongs to Mr. Fuentez.
She says she “feels disgusted” by the encounter, after the fact, and wishes to have no more contact with Mr. Fuentez. A second time, our interviewer advised her to call the police if Mr. Fuentez attempted to contact her again.
We thank this reader for reaching out to us so that we can update our site accordingly.
