Anthony Ruiz, 34, a former social studies teacher at Eagle Rock School in Estes Park, Colorado has reportedly been arrested on allegations of the sexual assault of a 16-year-old female student.
Ruiz was arrested last week on one count of sexual assault on a child by a person in a position of trust.

It is alleged that Ruiz sexually assaulted the girl once during the month of May and as a result she became pregnant.
Reportedly the alleged victim left the school for academic reasons earlier this month and is now living at the family home in California . Eagle Rock School is reportedly a year-round, residential and full-scholarship school enrolling people ages 15-17 from around the country.
A school spokesperson has indicated that Ruiz was fired Friday night after investigators told school officials that they had interview Ruiz and that he had confirmed in the police interview the girl’s allegations.
Following his arrest Ruiz was reportedly being held without bail in the Larimer County Detention Center.

Here we go again with the same beard and mustache! A mere coincidence, or a manifestation of the mind of a child molester? I’m beginning to think there may be something to this.
As with K I also consider that place a home. It is a place that you can always go back to and find open arms. The fact that this occured is mind blowing as it is a place intended to always serve as refuge for just such circumstances. And for all those arguing I am sure there is little hidden and little to question these are honest straight forward people.
OK somebody (* *)-we can all have our own opinions.and i guess you know what they say about opinons?
Sad news for people who love this school… I once considered this place safer than my own home. It became my home and staff and students became family. I hope that love we all share for this school helps everyone get thru this.
easteregg – this site does not provide the content, in case you haven’t noticed. To not believe ANYTHING on here is to not believe literally hundreds of news agencies that this site draws it’s content from. There’s healthy skepticism and then there’s silliness.
guru? i am sure your a smart person. i dont believe anything i read on badbadteacher. some of the crap is hear say-and that does not count.
easteregg, I didn’t rush to judge him, but when the article has this statement, “they had interview Ruiz and that he had confirmed in the police interview the girl’s allegations” What more needs to be said, he hung his own neck.
The date of him being fired is wrong…it was saturday morning…with that detail wrong, what else might be wrong?

Raping a 16 year old, sicko needs to sit in jail for a long time.
