By Breaking Belize News Staff (HP): A teacher from San Pedro has been sentenced to prison after being found guilty of sexually assaulting students.
According to court information, 47 year old Alex Jason Noralez, a resident of Barracuda Street in the Boca Del Rio area of San Pedro Town, was sentenced to 18 months imprisonment after being convicted on two counts of sexual assault involving students.
The case stems from January 2024, when Noralez was accused of sexually assaulting students at school. He was initially charged with three counts of sexual assault involving students.
On Wednesday, January 21, 2026, a magistrate delivered the ruling, finding Noralez guilty on two counts related to second form students, while he was acquitted on a third count involving a first form student.
During the trial, Noralez reportedly maintained his innocence. He admitted that he hugged the students but claimed the embraces were not sexual. However, the students testified that the teacher allegedly groped them.
The court ordered that the two 18 month sentences run concurrently, meaning Noralez will serve 18 months in total.
