On Friday, members of the Hudson County Prosecutor’s Office Special Victims Unit arrested Francisco Realpe, 43, of Hoboken, on a charge that he sexually assaulted a 17-year-old female student while a teacher in Union City.
The new charge stems from an incident that occurred in 2004 while Realpe was a teacher at Union Hill High School. Realpe has been charged with sexual assault, a second-degree crime.
He was arrested at the Hudson County Prosecutor’s Office without incident, after surrendering with his attorney.
Realpe appeared in Criminal Justice Reform Court on Saturday, February 22nd where he was placed on supervised release.
Realpe was previously arrested on February 3, 2020, on charges involving the sexual assault of a 17-year-old female student at Dickinson High School in Jersey City in November 2019.
Suarez credited the Hudson County Prosecutor’s Office Special Victims Unit for the investigation.
