Luis Lopez, 51 (above, right) is charged with seven counts, including aggravated sexual assault and impairing the morals of a minor.

He was arrested in early December 2012 after the girl, then 13, went to staff at her school who called police.

Among other allegations, Lopez is charged with penetrating the child’s vagina with his fingers and making her rub his penis with her foot.

A Colombian national, Lopez is due back in court for a status report Feb. 3. A grand jury in Hackensack indicted him last month.
