Richard Izquierdo Arroyo, grandson of Assemblywoman Carmen E. Arroyo and nephew of City Councilwoman Maria del Carmen Arroyo, is facing civil charges in an alleged abuse case at a charter school he helped run. According to the Daily News, Arroyo is named in the suit (even though he no longer runs the school) because he didn't do enough to stop a teacher who's accused of assaulting a student and making sexually inappropriate comments. Arroyo was already facing criminal charges for embezzling from a Bronx nonprofit, and he's now ready to plead guilty in the embezzlement case. The Times reported that Arroyo's believed to have used the money for making political contributions to his family members, as well as spending on clothes, meals and trips.
