A teacher's aide from Queens was arrested Wednesday after being accused of having a sexual relationship with a 16-year-old student.

The New York City Police Department says Alfred Walcott, 46, of Queens is charged with multiple counts of rape and criminal sex acts.

Police say Walcott works at Beach Channel High School in Far Rockaway, where the female student attends school.

Officials with the Department of Education say Walcott has worked with the city since 1985 and transferred to Beach Channel High School in 2005.

Walcott is currently suspended without pay following his arrest.

He is not related to Schools Chancellor Dennis Walcott.
