(06-17) 20:26 PDT SAN FRANCISCO -- A 68-year-old man was arraigned Thursday on seven felony counts for allegedly raping his 8-year-old step-granddaughter at a San Francisco elementary school, District Attorney Kamala Harris said.

Prosecutors alleged Pedro Hernandez sexually assaulted the victim at least three times over a period of 11 months. In the most recent incident, a teacher's aide found Hernandez molesting his step-granddaughter in an secluded stairwell at Sanchez Elementary School in the Castro on June 3, authorities said. A surveillance video captured the attack.

Hernandez has been charged with one count of continuous abuse of a minor, three counts of intercourse or sodomy with a child under the age of 10 and three counts of digital penetration or oral copulation with a child under the age of 10.

His son and stepdaughter, Jesus Hernandez, 19, and Marisol Lopez, 32, where charged last week as accessories after the fact for allegedly helping Hernandez hide from police.
