A 20-year-old after-school worker who was arrested earlier this week was accused of rape and sexual intercourse with a minor at Everett Middle School. He had his first court appearance Friday.

Jeremy Reyes, who was with the after-school program Mission Graduates, was arrested on Tuesday morning at the school by San Francisco police officers. The school’s administration had called the police after receiving a report of an inappropriate incident.

He was booked into jail on eight charges early Wednesday morning, including statutory rape, sexual battery, lewd acts with a child and other crimes. He was being held without bond.

Reyes had a court appointment on Friday afternoon for an arraignment, according to court records, but that was postponed until Monday morning, according to the sheriff’s booking log. The San Francisco Chronicle was first to report the arraignment and charges.

The CEO of Mission Graduates said on Tuesday that the nonprofit was working closely with the school district and police. Everett students interviewed by Mission Local on Tuesday said rumors of the incident were spreading within the school. “It was the talk of the day,” one said.
