A 36-year-old elementary school gym teacher is accused of sexually assaulting three of his students at the Chicago Public School where he worked, prosecutors said Friday.
Cook County Judge Kelly Marie McCarthy denied bail for Andrew Castro, who was charged with predatory criminal sexual assault and sexual exploitation of a child.
The assaults began that same year when Castro was 31 and the victims were 10, 11 and 12-years-old and halted in 2022, when he was 35. The victims are now 14 and 15, prosecutors said.
