The family and supporters of former San Pedro High School (SPHS) teacher Alex Noralez held a peaceful protest in Central Park in downtown San Pedro on Wednesday, January 28th. The demonstration was organized to oppose Noralez’s conviction and sentencing in a sexual assault case involving high school students. During the protest, Noralez’s wife, Sylvia Noralez, along with their two children and other family members, addressed the crowd. The case against Noralez began in May 2024, when he was arraigned at the San Pedro Magistrate’s Court and charged with three counts of sexual assault. On January 21, 2026, he was convicted of two counts of sexual assault.
