A former Santa Rosa City Schools employee is facing prison time after pleading guilty yesterday to sexually assaulting a student with developmental disabilities.
According to the Press Democrat, Apolinario Santos was an instructional assistant at Ridgway High School when police say he targeted a 20-year-old woman in a vocational work program. After a workplace employer reported the suspicious behavior last spring, investigators used security footage to confirm the abuse.
Santos is now scheduled to be sentenced on March 3rd, where he could face up to four years behind bars.
