BROOKLINE, Mass. — Authorities have launched an investigation into an alleged sexual assault on a female student walking near her school Monday afternoon.
Brookline Police say around 1:15 p.m., a 14-year-old girl stated that an unknown man in his 20s grabbed her as she was walking between classes at Brookline High School on Tappan Street and forced his hand into her pants.
The victim reported the incident to a teacher, who notified the dean, who reported it to police.
“We ask students to be mindful of their surroundings as they move about our campus,” said Superintendent Linus Guillory. “While BHS is a safe campus, our high school complex consists of multiple buildings and students move about on public streets. Students, staff and all community members are urged to remain aware of their surroundings at all times and report any suspicious activity to any school staff member.”
No further information was immediately available.
