A former Milton Academy drama teacher accused of raping a student decades ago in a high-profile case apparently returned briefly to teaching while awaiting trial, volunteering as an instructor for seniors enrolled in a remote program associated with the University of Southern Maine.
Reynold J. Buono, who was extradited to the United States from Thailand in 2018 after Norfolk County prosecutors levied charges that he repeatedly raped a student in the early 1980s, has been free on $50,000 bond while awaiting trial and is required to wear a GPS bracelet while living in Maine.
