A former Catholic high school teacher was ordered held in lieu of $250,000 bail Friday for the alleged sexual assault of a female student.

Police said Wesley Cherniak, 32, attacked the then-16-year-old girl last year at St. Benedict High School, 3900 N. Leavitt, where he had been teaching.

The student's parents reported the alleged attack to the assistant principal on May 13, 2009, according to Archdiocese of Chicago spokeswoman Susan Burritt.

Cherniak was subsequently suspended from the school, Burritt said.

He was arrested at his home Wednesday in the 3800 block of North Bernard.
