Yesterday at approximately 1:00 a.m., members of the Hudson County Prosecutor’s
Special Victims Unit arrested Lora for allegedly sexually assaulting a student the day before.
On March 6th, a student reported an incident involving sexual touching by Lora that had
allegedly occurred in the classroom that day. After being alerted of the incident, the principal at P.S. No. 7 immediately contacted the Prosecutor’s SVU, authorities said.

There were a total of seven students in Lora’s classroom on March 6th when the incident allegedly occurred, officials said.
