ATTLEBORO — A 15-year-old eighth-grader at an Attleboro middle school has been charged with raping a 14-year-old girl at school.
Acting Police Chief Kyle Heagney says the Coelho Middle School student, whose name was not released because of his age, was arrested Tuesday after police obtained a warrant from Attleboro Juvenile Court.
The chief tells The Sun Chronicle the alleged rape occurred during school hours on May 31, but school officials did not learn of it until June 6. The alleged rape was reported to have occurred in a secluded locker area. School officials notified police as soon as they learned of it.
The girl is also an eighth-grader.
The boy was released into the custody of his parents and is scheduled to be arraigned Thursday in Attleboro Juvenile Court.
