Joseph Horace Green of Lancaster was arrested in connection with a case that was featured on the Sept. 24 episode of CNN’s “The Hunt with John Walsh: School of Lies.”
Channel Nicola Warren, 43, of Los Angeles was also arrested in connection with the case.
The investigation began on May 4, 2000, according to the Los Angeles Police Department.
“The sexual assault was discovered when students attending a school camping trip noticed that another student had slept in the same room with two adults,” according to an LAPD statement.
“The victim told several students that she was sexually involved with both adults. The suspects were identified as 43-year-old Channel Nicola Warren of Los Angeles and 52-year-old Joseph Horace Green of Lancaster, California. Green is a registered sex offender. Felony sexual assault warrants were issued for both suspects,” according to the LAPD statement.
Shortly after the case was featured on the CNN crime show, “investigators discovered that the suspects had taken up residency in Florida under false names,” police said in the statement.
Both suspects were arrested in Plantation, Florida, on Wednesday, Oct. 18, by the FBI’s South Florida Fugitive and Violent Crimes Task Force and LAPD Robbery- Homicide Division detectives and are awaiting extradition to Los Angeles.

Alexis says
Joseph Horace Green, a man that served two years in prison for molesting a minor in 1996 and sex offender status, was able along with his wife to lease a building and start a private school under a different name. A fake diploma saying he received his masters degree among other gross lies, got him funding and praises from the then Mayor of L.A. in 2000. No one checked his background. I wonder how many other children have been victimized in all these years.
