Year Old Eldorado High School Student Arrested For Sexually Assaulting, Attempting To Kill Teacher
LAS VEGAS (KLAS) – A 16-year-old Las Vegas high school student accused of trying to kill his teacher last week choked and punched the girl multiple times before sexually assaulting her, the police said.
Jonathan Martinez Garcia, 16, is being treated as an adult due to the nature of the charges. He faces 15 charges, including attempted murder, sexual assault and kidnapping. Nine more charges were added on Monday.
The teacher told police that Martinez Garcia came into the classroom "to see what assignments she was missing from her class," police wrote in a report provided Tuesday by the 8 News Now I-Team.
The teacher said she and Martinez Garcia moved to her desk and they were talking about his missing homework and grades when she felt herself choking, police said. Police believe the high school student used a computer cable to strangle her, documents state.

The teacher remembers waking up alone in the room. Martinez-Garcia apparently came back into the room and punched her in the face, police said.
The teacher "asked Jonathan repeatedly why he was 'doing this' to him," police said. The student responded that while he really liked that teacher, he "didn't like teachers" and was "getting revenge," police said.
Martinez Garcia also called a parent during the incident, telling the teacher, "You can't die already, hurry up," the teacher told police.
