School Janitor Accused Of Rape Released

BROOKLYN (CBS) ― The janitor who was charged with raping an 8-year-old student at a Brooklyn elementary school has been released on his own recognizance. Francis Evelyn was accused of attacking a girl inside P.S. 91 in East Flatbush.

Many who know Evelyn were shocked by the charges. "He talks to everyone, jokes with everybody," one of Evelyn's neighbors told CBS 2.

Evelyn, who lives with his wife and daughter, is charged with rape, a criminal sex act, sex abuse and endangering the welfare of a child.

The victim reported to her mother several days ago that she had been raped and sodomized in the basement of the school multiple times, and pointed out Evelyn as her attacker.

The Department of Education said Evelyn has been with the department since 1988 without incident. He has been suspended without pay.

On Tuesday, CBS 2 learned that the principal of P.S. 91 was reassigned after the accusations against Evelyn came to light.

Sources said Principal Solomon Long was reassigned because he's accused of doing nothing about another possible case involving same 8-year-old girl being sexually abused by another adult.
