Parkside High Student Arrested for Sexual Assault

Sheriff's Department

19-year-old Jose Miguel Vazquez-Ramos has been charged with sexual assault on a 14-year-old at Parkside High School.

The student was charged with a number of counts according to the sheriff’s office.

The Salisbury Daily Times reports that the school system is still investigating the incident.            

But Superintendent Donna Hanlin issued a statement saying that student safety was the district’s top priority.

This not the first time Parkside High has been hit with a sexual assault incident.

In 2015 another student was convicted of rape and sentenced to 10 years in prison.
