CUDAHY, Wis. (CBS 58) -- Prosecutors have charged 28-year-old Demetrian Carr with two felony counts of 2nd Degree Sexual Assault of a child in connection to this case.
Carr made his initial appearance in Milwaukee County Intake Court on Sat. Dec. 13.
A judge set his cash bond at $50,000. And Carr is ordered to not have any contact with Cudahy High School or any student attending the school.
The School District of Cudahy has confirmed that Carr, who is on administrative leave, has been employed with the district as a Special Education Paraprofessional since 2022.
Prior to that, he worked at Cudahy Middle School from September 2019 to June 2022, when he transferred to Cudahy High School.
Carr is due back in court Dec. 19, for a preliminary hearing.
CUDAHY, Wis. (CBS 58) -- An employee of the Cudahy school district is on leave after allegedly sexually assaulting a female student.
The 28-year-old, who we are not naming because he has not been formally charged, was arrested Tuesday.
On Dec. 9, Cudahy police were called to Cudahy High School after a female student reported two incidents of sexual assault by a staff member. Investigators say the assaults occurred years earlier and did not happen at the school. The 28-year-old man, who is from Milwaukee, was arrested.
In a statement to CBS 58, the Cudahy School District wrote, in part, “The staff member was immediately placed on leave,” and “The safety and wellbeing of students remain our highest priority.”
Community members say school should be a safe place for all students, and they want transparency about the incident from school officials.
“Alarmed. Shocked. I think it’s really a shame that children have to be put in that situation, whether or not the allegations are true or not. It’s a disturbing trend, I think, that has been going on recently,” said Zachary Chase, local resident. “I think transparency is always the best policy and there should be as much information released. I mean, it's common sense.”
Cudahy police say charges have been referred to the Milwaukee County District Attorney’s Office.
The investigation is ongoing. Anyone with additional information is asked to contact the Cudahy Police Department at 414-769-2260.
