Teacher Accused Of Statutory Rape To Plead Not Guilty

The lawyer representing a teacher at a Bayside high school charged with statutory rape says he is innocent and will plead not guilty.
Francisco Aguilar, 28, a substitute Spanish teacher at Benjamin Cardozo High School, was arrested August 3rd and charged with having sex with a 16-year-old student twice at his Flushing home six weeks ago—becoming the third teacher from a Bayside school accused of a sex-related crime in the last year.
