A male teacher at an all-girls private high school on the South Side was arrested Friday and charged with allegedly sexually assaulting a female student.

Eric Cheung, 24, a teacher at Maria High School for girls, has been arrested and charged with the alleged sexual assault of a 16-year-old.

Eric Cheung, 24, was arrested at his home in the 900 block of North Paulina Street and charged with criminal sexual assault, a felony, according to a Shakespeare District police lieutenant. The lieutenant said Cheung was being held in lockup as of Monday morning.

Cheung is expected to appear in Violence Court for a noon bond hearing Monday.

A police report indicated Cheung is a teacher at Maria High School, and the charges stem from an incident involving a 16-year-old female student.

Details on what allegedly took place were not immediately known.

A spokeswoman for the Catholic institution said the school was planning on issuing a statement but did not have any information immediately at 7:45 a.m.
