Man suspected in Harbor School assault pleads not guilty to theft charge
A 33-year-old Dorchester man pleaded not guilty today in Dorchester District Court to a larceny charge in the theft of five computers from the Harbor Pilot Middle School in Dorchester.
Bail for LaShawn Hill, a Boston public school employee for seven years, was set at $3,500, and a further hearing in the case was set for Jan. 10, Suffolk County prosecutors said.
Hill, a teacher’s aide, faces legal trouble on another front.
He has been accused of inappropriate conduct Monday with a nonverbal autistic student at the Harbor School. He is also suspected in a similar alleged incident at the King K-8 School in Dorchester last year, authorities said Wednesday.
Police Commissioner Edward F. Davis said Wednesday that police had issued a summons for Hill, who has been placed on administrative leave from the school, to appear Friday in Dorchester District Court on a misdemeanor charge of lewd and lascivious conduct in the Harbor School incident, the Globe reported this morning.
