(KRON) — An instructional assistant who works with developmentally disabled young adults in Santa Rosa was arrested Tuesday and accused of sexual abuse.
Police identified the instructional assistant as Apolinario Araki “Junior” Santos, 61, of Santa Rosa.
The alleged victim is a 20-year-old woman who participates in a “Transition Program” at Ridgeway High School, the Santa Rosa Police Department said. Police said the program helps young adults who have developmental disabilities acquire job and life skills through partnerships with local employers.
Police said Santos committed lewd acts against the disabled woman. “Santos was working as an Instructional Assistant for the Transition Program at the time these incidents were believed to have occurred,” SRPD wrote.
Police were first alerted last month by Santa Rosa City Schools administrators who received a complaint. The complaint, filed by one of SRCS’s employer partners, stated that Santos inappropriately touched the victim “multiple times during her workday at their business,” police wrote.
Detectives reviewed video recordings from the business. Investigators said they determined that Santos intentionally touched “intimate parts of the victim against her will” and that the victim was unable to consent to sexual acts due to her developmental disability.
Per Transparent California, Montgomery Principal April Santos’ middle initial is ‘A’.
Virtual background check tools indicate there is one woman in Santa Rosa named April Anissa Santos.
There is only one woman with the name April A. Santos who resides in driving distance of Santa Rosa City Schools: April Anissa Santos, 55, Santa Rosa, CA.

Why does Santa Rosa City Schools continually have issues with sexual predators on campus if they are not hiring and enabling them?
Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place. -Ephesians 6:14
