A former school assistant has been charged with assaulting 42 boys and trying to give some of them HIV.

Carlos Bell, 30, has been indicted on 206 counts including child pornography, sexual assault and attempted transfer of HIV.

He is accused of abusing pupils aged 11 to 17 from May 2015 to June 2017 at Benjamin Stoddert Middle School in Waldorf, Maryland.

He was also a track coach for La Plata high School and an employee at JP Ryon Elementary in Waldorf and McDonough High School in Pomfret.

In December, police received a tip from a parent alleging that Bell was engaging in questionable behavior with one of his students on the track team.

‘A parent observed suspicious text messages on a child’s phone that were sexual in nature,’ Charles County Sheriff Troy Berry said.

After his arrest, Bell informed law enforcement officials that he was HIV positive.

Investigators said they have evidence corroborating Bell’s diagnosis.
