Wiley has been teaching English and philosophy at the school for 37 years.
"He always walks around saying hi to people," said student Justin Cardenas. "He was always really cool, down to earth, I didn't really see him doing this stuff."
School officials said they're addressing the matter with students and counselors will be on hand, while police are also asking parents to talk to their kids about it.
"There are supportive adults for counseling, guidance counselors, in home room students have teachers that they're affiliated with," said Marge Chiafrey, Superintendent of Schools.
Police say they only know of the one victim, but are urging any others to come forward and urging parents to talk to their kids.
Wiley was released on $20,000 cash bail. He is due to be arraigned on Dec. 1. It was not immediately clear if he had an attorney.
School officials said they removed him from duty around Columbus Day and he has submitted a retirement letter.
