A 40-year-old school van driver from Roslindale is facing charges that include kidnapping and aggravated rape after allegedly assaulting an elementary school girl he was driving home from school, police said.
Israel Santiago allegedly assaulted the victim at 3 p.m. Friday in a parking lot at Larz Anderson Park. Santiago was driving the victim home in his YCN transportation van, Brookline police said in a statement.
Santiago, who also faces charges of indecent assault and battery on a child under 14, was to be arraigned today in Brookline Municipal Court. Police said they were looking into whether Santiago had assaulted the victim in the past.
