A Tulare Union High School teacher has been re-arrested, accused of sexually abusing his students. 

Juan Javier Sanchez, 44, was arrested at his Delano home Friday for lewd act upon a child. 

Sanchez was previously arrested in March of this year for having an inappropriate relationship with a student. 

He wasn't charged and was later released.
