Hillhouse Assistant Principal Accused Of Sexually Assaulting Student: New Haven Police

NEW HAVEN, CT — An assistant principal at Hillhouse High School is accused of sexually assaulting a student, according to New Haven police.

Daniel Bonet-Ojeda, 49, was arrested Monday on a warrant in connection with an investigation that started in May, according to police.

The Connecticut Department of Children and Families notified New Haven police on May 22 of an accusation of sexual assault between Bonet and a student.

Police said the case was immediately assigned to Det. Mariah Miller of the Special Victim’s Unit.

“A forensic interview with the victim was conducted,” police wrote in a news release. “She disclosed two separate allegations of sexual assault which occurred on consecutive days in Bonet’s office after he arranged to be alone with her while school was in session.

“Detective Miller was able to corroborate the victim’s account with video surveillance from the school which corroborated her accounts, constancy statements with witnesses and staff members, along with other evidence.”

Bonet was charged with two counts of second-degree sexual assault and two counts of fourth-degree sexual assault. He was held in lieu of a $250,000 bond.
