SPANISH FORK, Utah (AP) — A Utah janitor has been charged with sexually abusing students at an elementary school south of Salt Lake City.
The Daily Herald of Provo reports that Adrian Villar was charged Friday with aggravated sexual abuse of a child and lewdness involving a child.
He is accused of following a student into a bathroom in February 2017 at Sierra Bonita Elementary School in Spanish Fork, and exposing his genitals. Court documents also allege Villar grabbed the student's arm to touch his genitals.
Another child accused Villar of pulling down his pants and inappropriately touching him inside a school shed.
Villar denied accusations in a police report.
The newspaper reports that Villar had been warned about breaking school district policy in the past.
