A security guard at a Little Village high school has been removed and criminally charged after he allegedly plied an underage student with alcohol and sexually assaulted her.Farragut Career Academy High School security guard Romel Campoverde, 43, appeared in court Wednesday following his arrest on a charge of criminal sexual assault of a victim between the ages of 13-17.According to Cook County prosecutors, Campoverde met the 15-year-old victim when she was a freshman at the school.
Campoverde allegedly made plans with the victim to meet on June 25, 2023. He took her to a McDonald’s and then bought eight cans of a tequila mixed drink, having the victim drink six of those cans while drinking two himself, McCord-Rodgers said. The victim exited the RV and immediately called a friend to tell them what had happened, before Campoverde drove her to her home, according to McCord-Rodgers. The victim then told a school employee about the incident the following day and Chicago police were notified.
Farragut principal Tonya Hammaker wrote a letter to parents and families last week, notifying them that “one of our non-teaching staff members engaged inappropriately with a student.” Hammaker said that employee had been removed from the school and that Chicago Public Schools’ Office of the Inspector General had launched an investigation into the matter.
