Cambridge elementary school teacher indicted on child rape charges, DA says
An elementary school teacher in Cambridge was indicted on several counts of child rape charges, according to the Middlesex District Attorney’s Office.
Jorge Alexis Bonilla was indicted by a Middlesex County Grand Jury on two counts of aggravated rape of a child and three counts of rape of a child by force in connection with the sexual assault of two female victims, under 14 years old, who were known to him, said the DA’s office.
The alleged incidents happened in 2014 and 2015.
Cambridge Public Schools said that Bonilla was not a teacher at the Amigos School during the time the alleged assaults occurred.
“Cambridge Public Schools learned that a teacher at the Amigos School has been charged with sexual assault. It is important to note that the district’s employment process includes criminal record checks and the National Criminal Background Fingerprint check in addition to personal and professional references, educational and employment background checks,” said a spokesperson for CPS.
Bonilla is on administrative leave.
Bonilla is scheduled to be arraigned on April 1 in Middlesex Superior Court.
