A former Massachusetts physical education teacher is accused of assaulting at least 10 female students, Salem police said Thursday.
Daniel Hakim, 36, of North Andover, was arrested Wednesday on 32 counts of aggravated indecent assault and battery on a child under 14, according to a police statement.
The girls were students at the Saltonstall School, where Hakim was employed from 2015 to 2018. The school serves students in kindergarten through eighth grade.
Hakim was "removed from the school" in 2018 after "instances of improper conduct" were brought to the attention of Salem Public Schools, police said.
The district reported the allegations to the state Department of Children and Families, the Salem Police Department and the state Department of Elementary and Secondary Education.
