Scumbag Janitor gets 4 years in prison for raping girl at school
DAMMIT! This is our school district.
- Former Lower Moreland Township School District janitor Eladio Miranda used his access to the district's middle and high schools to rape a 10-year-old girl on at least four separate occasions.
Miranda, who knew the girl outside of school, was sentenced Tuesday to four to eight years in prison for raping the girl at Huntingdon Valley's Murray Avenue School in 2004. The girl does not attend school in the district.

Miranda took the girl to the school nurse's office, pushed her onto a bed and raped her, according to court records. He told her not to tell anyone.
The next day, the girl complained to her mother that she was suffering from vaginal bleeding. When her mother questioned her about this, the girl told her what Miranda had done, according to court records.
Her mother, also of of Philadelphia, reported the rape to Philadelphia police, who took her to Children's Hospital of Philadelphia for an examination.
The clothes the girl was wearing at the time of the assault were tested for DNA, according to court records. Semen found on the girl's clothes belonged to Miranda.
The girl told police that Miranda had sexually assaulted her three other times - two times at Lower Moreland High School and one time at Murray Avenue, according to court records.
Philadelphia eventually forwarded the case to Lower Moreland police who arrested Miranda.
