A public school teacher in Long Island City was arrested Tuesday morning at the school where he worked, following allegations that he raped a former student, police said.
David Ospino, 36, was taken into custody without incident on June 3 at I.S. 204 Oliver W. Holmes, located at 36-41 28th St. I.S. 204 is a public middle school in District 30 serving grades 6 through 8 in western Queens.
Police said the arrest stems from a report filed by a now-14-year-old girl who alleged that Ospino raped her at his home in Forest Hills, outside the school’s premises, when she was 13 years old. The alleged incident occurred about a year ago, within the jurisdiction of the 112th Precinct.
Ospino has been charged with rape and endangering the welfare of a child, the NYPD confirmed.
The city Department of Education and administrators at I.S. 204 have been contacted for comment. Responses were pending as of publication time.
The investigation remains ongoing.
