mario enrique who work forward the fire department for years. according to the merck he is facing serious drug and sex charges involving children. he is also accused of selling methamphetamine and sex assault again involving minors. the merc sites the department of justice. they believe the 53-year-old they say was booked after an arrest as you said at the station where he worked. this happened just yesterday. it is believed that he was soliciting business on line. computers were seized from his home and the fire station. his face book page says he has worked for the department since 1994, 53 years old, they say at this point it's unclear the number of victims and the information they say came from a tip but not a tip from a minor. reporting live in san jose, christie smith, "today in the bay." >> a warning has been issued for

bart riders after a uc-berkeley student is infected with the measles. the student reportedly commuted on the train of bart back and forth for nearly a week. it's a highly contagious disease. peggy bunker joins us in studio with some of the details. and concerns. >> very concerning. that's because measles is extremely contagious, it can hang in the air for up to two hours after the infected person is gone. so you can imagine how alarming this is for b.a.r.t. which provides about 400,000 rides per day. health officials are warning that any one riding bart between february 4 and february 7 during the morning commute or late in the evening kout have been exposed to the measles virus. the student lives in contra costa county and from el cerrito station to downtown berkeley. the student attended classes last week through tuesday through friday, having no idea that he was infected. >> we had learned that during the period in which he was

infectious or contagious the student spent time on campus and in the berkeley community. >> contra costa officials say he was not vaccinated for measles, which is spread through the air when an infected person coughs or sneezes. some are unconcerned. >> not really concerned about it really. i know it's a possible danger but i know i probably should get immunized. i haven't. >> immoonization is a key. the student was not immunized was likely exposed to the virus while traveling on a trip abroad. here are the symptoms. high fever, runny nose, coughing, watery red eyes and a rash. of course a lot of the symptoms can be something different but really it's the rash that you need to look out for that is something to keep your eye open for. if you had a measles vaccine you're good. it's a very effective way to prevent getting measles even if you are exposed to the virus. it's those not vaccinated most

at risk. they are handing out measles vaccines today on the berkeley campus so very concerned about it. >> thank you very much. well, now to the 2014 sochi games where all eyes will be on the iceberg skating palace for tonight's long program in men's figure skating. >> what a name, the iceberg. jeremy abbott hoping for a better night after a fall in the short program. let's go to janelle wang live in olympic park. hi, janelle. happy, valentine's day there too. >> yes. happy valentine's day to you both. it's a beautiful day, another beautiful day almost in the mid-60s. i'm here right at the entrance of olympic park. this is where everybody's files tine get to see all of the venues. behind me actually break dancing going on right now. so a beautiful day. not so beautiful jeremy abbott. he had a rough night last night as you saw.

he crashed during his short program. he had a similar fall in the team event this past weekend. amazingly he finished. no chance of medaling, this is what he said after. >> sometimes i think getting up and fighting is harder than being perfect. >> gold medalist kristi yamaguchi tweeted this. also a shocker on the ice last night. russia's evgeni plyushchenko withdrew when his name was called. he tweaked his back in warm-ups and felt he was not well enough to compete. the four-time olympic medalist said he is sorry to his fans. obviously he is disappointed now, this is not way he wanted to end his career. the other american, 19-year-old jason brown is still in it

currently in sixth place but unfortunately he's the only one in the top six that does not have a quad, in his program. so basically he's going to have to skate and spin perfectly. we've got to hope the others may flub a little bit for him to get a medal. it's beautiful here, i'm going to do a little show and tell so stay there, in 15 minutes i'm going to tell what you is surrounding me here at olympic park and there is a long, long line for one of the stores i'm going to tell you which one it is. see you in 15 minutes. >> we look forward to it. a personal tour. thanks so much. >> of course you can catch all of that olympic excitement on nbc bay area. the recordings start at 3:00 with the gold medal final in the 15 kilometer women's biathlon and women's free style skiing. >> then in prime time at 8:00, several gold medal finals including men's figure skating t

exposed the student commuted on b.a.r.t. specifically from the elser rita station to downtown berkeley. the student also attended classes last week tuesday through friday, having no idea he was infected. >> we had learned that during the period in which he was infectious or contagious the student spent time on campus and in the berkeley community. >> measles is spread through the air when an infected person coughs or sneezes. one of the symptoms is a rash. >> the key thing is the rash which is classic and not always present in some individuals, comes later and it starts on the face or head and spreads to the body. >> so the student was not immunized for measles, likely exposed while traveling abroad. there are other symptoms. high fever, watery eyes and that rash. if you had a measles vaccine you're good. uc-berkeley contacted about 100

students who were in the class with the infected student, they are handing out 300 doses of the mmr vaccine on campus today. especially the rash, the others could be a cold, but the rash is the tell tale sign. >> i didn't realize it hangs in the air for a couple of hours. >> that's the carey part. >> well, what a way in sochi to make an olympic debut. a clean sweep. >> that's what happened for team usa in the men's free ski slopestyle. let's go to janelle wang. what a night on the podium for americans. it was amazing to see the three flags up there. >> reporter: i know. all american flags 1, 2, 3, such a great night. it's a great day here at olympic park. as you can see behind me that pedestrian walkway hundreds of people are filing in because we've got men's figure skating, we've got curling and we've got

two hockey games going on. not usa but canada is playing austria and i think norway and finland. let's talk about the slopestyle. it was amazing. gold, silver and bronze. josh which issian son took the gold. he was the last man to qualify for the olympic team and ends up winning the event. gus kenworthy of colorado took silver and nick goepper took third. >> today was one of the best days for all of us. s so awesome. >> you dedicated this medal to your father who is probably looking down on you now so proud. >> yeah. i know he's jumping and screaming and having the time of his life. i hope i made him proud. >> you definitely did. gus, what have the last 24 hours been like? >> overwhelming. just the contest itself was crazy and to get result, then
