A former student at Bonny Eagle High School in Standish is facing two counts of gross sexual assault for allegedly raping a 15-year-old victim in the school bathroom.

Ali Kareem Al Shammari, 19, of Buxton, was arrested in late February of this year on two counts of gross sexual assault and was booked at the Cumberland County Jail.

Arrest records from Buxton Police indicate that Al Shammari was taken into custody on a warrant shortly before 5 p.m. on Feb. 19 near his residence on Albert Circle in Buxton.

Shammari was released from the jail on Feb. 25 on $2,500 cash bail, under conditions that he not enter Bonny Eagle High School and have no direct or indirect contact with the minor victim.

Charging documents indicate that Al Shammari is accused of engaging in a sexual act with a minor victim who submitted out of compulsion on or about Sept. 9, 2024 — over five months before his February arrest — in Standish, resulting in one count of Class A gross sexual assault.

Class A offenses in Maine are punishable by up to 30 years in prison and a fine of up to $50,000.

At the time of the alleged assault, the minor victim was 15 years old, and Shammari was 18 years old.

Court records show that the minor victim conducted a video interview at a Maine Children’s Advocacy Center regarding the alleged sexual assault on Nov. 19, 2024.

Shammari is also charged with Class C gross sexual assault, punishable by up to five years in prison and a $5,000 fine, with prosecutors alleging that Shammari was “criminally negligent with regard to whether the minor had consented” to the sexual act.

Social media posts about the case have alleged that the assault occurred in a bathroom at Bonny Eagle High School.

Court records do not state exactly where the alleged assault occurred, only that it occurred in Standish, and that Shammari was released under conditions not to enter Bonny Eagle High School.

Superintendent of Bonny Eagle School District (MSAD 6) Clay Gleason told the Maine Wire on Monday that the district is “aware of the social media reports and concerns shared.”

Gleason confirmed that Shammari is a former student and that he no longer attends Bonny Eagle High School.

“The law does not permit us to discuss student matters, and so we are not able to offer any information about these allegations or this specific individual,” Gleason wrote in a Monday email.

“However, I can generally share that when student concerns are brought to our attention, we work to get the facts in a timely manner and offer supports to the families involved,” Gleason wrote. “When we identify a violation of our code of conduct, we take prompt action to address the conduct including working with law enforcement as necessary.  The safety of our students is and will continue to be paramount priority.”

Gleason said there has been no communication to the community about the sexual assault “out of respect for the privacy of the students involved.”

At a meeting of the MSAD 6 Board of Directors on Sept. 30, 2024 — roughly three weeks after the date the sexual assault allegedly occurred — the board moved into executive session for just over an hour to conduct a student disciplinary hearing, after which the board voted unanimously to expel the student in question (referred to only as “Student A”).

According to a Bonny Eagle School District letter dated Nov. 7, 2024 obtained by the Maine Wire, the district conducted a Title IX investigation into Ali Al Shammari for allegedly “Sexually assaulting [minor victim] in a bathroom at Bonny Eagle High School,” and for “Unwanted sexual contact (kissing) [victim] in the hallway in early September,” after a complaint was filed with the district on Oct. 24, 2024.

The district’s investigation found that Shammari “did engage in conduct that constituted sex-based harassment in violation of Title IX and MSAD 6 Policy ACAA,” — the district policy regarding harassment and sexual harassment of students, the letter states.

Shammari has a hearing before the Cumberland County Superior Court scheduled for June 17.

Rape murders your soul. Bathroom crimes in the public school system seem to become normalized in Janet’s new Maine. Inexpensive for the perps as well. Invest in deportation to save our kiddos.

Was the victim male or female? If the event occurred in the bathroom, is it safe to assume the victim is male? Or transgender? I’m sure that many would say, what difference does it make?
