A former athletic trainer at Archbishop Carroll High School has been arrested and charged with sexually abusing a female student at the Catholic school in Northeast Washington, according to D.C. police and the archdiocese.

Jimmy Augustin, 33, is charged with a single misdemeanor count of sexual abuse of a minor. He was arrested Thursday and could make an initial appearance in D.C. Superior Court on Friday. Police listed an address for him in Fort Washington, Md.

Police said in a statement that the alleged abuse occurred at the school, in the 4300 block of Harewood Road NE, near Catholic University of America, between September and October. The school has 385 students.

A spokesman for the Archdiocese of Washington said Augustin taught one class in addition to athletic training. A statement from the archdiocese says Augustin has been fired.
