RIVER GROVE, Ill. — Charges are pending against an assistant principal of a River Grove high school for allegedly sexually abusing a male student.

The president of the school says the victim is a student.

Yesterday, the Guerin College Prep sent home to parents a letter explaining the situation. The letter identifies the assistant principal by name. But because charges are pending on the 34-year-old, WGN is not naming the suspect.

Guerin College Prep says the assistant principal has been leave since the allegations first surfaced Sept. 10.

The alleged incident occurred outside of school in the 2600 block of North Sayre Avenue in Chicago.

Police say the victim is a 17-year-old male.
