MARTINEZ — A former Danville schoolteacher and cheer coach was sentenced to the maximum allowable sentence, three years and eight months in prison, for molesting girls in his care.
Nicholas Moseby, 44, was convicted last October of committing a lewd act on a child and sending harmful material to a child, both felonies, along with misdemeanor counts of annoying or molesting a minor and sexual battery of a girl. He maintained throughout his trial that he was the victim of a student-led smear campaign after an innocent mistake, where he sent a picture of his genitals to a student while intending to send it to an online sex worker.
Moseby was remanded to custody after a Wednesday morning court hearing, meaning he’ll start off 2026 behind bars. Judge Joni Hiramoto handed down the sentence, rejecting a recommendation by the county probation department to forego jail altogether.
Moseby worked as a biology teacher at San Ramon Valley High School and a cheerleading coach at Nor*Cal Elites at the time of the crimes. He had also worked as a middle school teacher in Danville. He was charged in 2022, and spent about months behind bars, which will count toward his prison sentence.
Moseby can reduce the sentence by half with good behavior, authorities said.
Moseby had been hired by both the San Ramon Valley Unified School District and the private cheer academy despite prior problems with the law, including a prostitution arrest in the Bay Area. Oakland police arrested Moseby in 2015, when he allegedly showed up to a hotel there after agreeing to pay an undercover officer posing as a prostitute $120 for sex, authorities said.
In 2010, Moseby was charged with being drunk in public in Santa Barbara. In 2009, he was convicted of a misdemeanor for providing alcohol to a teen in Arizona. Police had initially investigated it as a sexual abuse allegation because the teen reported being assaulted at a party after receiving alcohol from Moseby.
Moseby informed the school district about his 2009 case. For the prostitution sting, he received a deferred judgment. The 2010 drunkenness case never resolved; a judge issued a warrant for Moseby’s arrest after he failed to show up to his arraignment and that’s where things stayed. Similarly, in 2009, a judge in Arizona issued a warrant — which police there said was still active when he was arrested in 2022 — for failing to submit to fingerprint testing.
Moseby was the subject of multiple complaints by students at San Ramon Valley High School, including that he called girls “hot” and made other comments about their looks. The district’s response was to transfer him to Diablo Vista Middle School in 2022, according to records released to this news organization.
After a trial that lasted roughly six weeks, jurors convicted Moseby of most charges but acquitted him of one lewd act on a minor charge, which involved allegations that he grinded against a 13-year-old girl’s backside. The jury also hung on another lewd act count involving alleged inappropriate touching of a 15-year-old.
