Malden Public Schools teacher, coach charged with sexual assault
A Malden Public Schools teacher and basketball coach was arrested and charged with the sexual assault of a high school student.
Scott Marino, 54, of Stoneham, is charged with two counts of rape, one count of indecent assault and battery and one count of furnishing alcohol to a person under the age of 21. He is scheduled to be arraigned today in Woburn District Court.
Marino teaches at the Linden STEAM school and is the head coach for the girl’s basketball team at Malden High School, according to a statement provided by Malden Public Schools Superintendent Timothy Sippel. The statement adds that the “series of incidents … occurred outside of working hours and involving one of our high school students.”
“I understand how upsetting and distressing this is to our community given the serious nature of these allegations,” Sippel wrote. “We thank you for your continued commitment to our students and our district community. The safety of our students and staff is our highest priority.”
Middlesex District Attorney Marian Ryan said that Marino allegedly provided alcohol to and sexually assaulted an 18-year-old female earlier this month.
