A teacher and coach in Malden, Massachusetts, has charged with the rape of an 18-year-old.
Malden Public Schools said Scott Marino had been arrested over a “serious incident” involving a high school student. The Middlesex County District Attorney’s Office and Stoneham Police Department later said he had been charged with two counts of rape, one count of indecent assault and battery and one count of furnishing alcohol to a person under 21.
Marino is accused of providing alcohol to the victim, who is known to him and sexually assaulting her on Feb. 18, prosecutors said.
Superintendent Timothy Sippel said Marino teaches at Linden STEAM Academy — which serves kindergarten through eighth grade — and is the head coach of the Malden High School girls’ basketball team.
Sippel said that Marino’s “arrest is in connection with a serious incident alleged to have occurred outside of working hours and involving one of our high school students.”
“I understand how upsetting and distressing this is to our community given the serious nature of these allegations,” the superintendent said.
Marino is due to be arraigned Thursday in Woburn District Court. It was not immediately clear if he had an attorney.
