TRUE CRIME

A 53-yearold Kramer Elementary teacher was charged with continuous sexual abuse of a young child, a Class 1 Felony, and indecency with child by contact, a Class 2 felony. According to the Dallas Police Department, Jorge Ruiz sexually assaulted two of his students nearly a decade ago, and several other potential victims also were interviewed. After he was arrested, Ruiz was placed in Lew Sterrett Justice Center with bail set at $100,000 for each offense. A statement from DISD spokeswoman Robyn Harris reads: “This is a very serious matter. While we are unable to comment on this personnel issue involving a teacher, we can share that the individual has been placed on administrative leave. We will continue to cooperate with authorities, and remain committed to providing a safe instructional environment for our students each day.”
