A Stonehill College junior today pleaded not guilty to two counts of rape of a child with force and other charges for allegedly sexually assaulting an 8-year-old girl he was tutoring at a Brockton elementary school, officials said.

Kevin Treseler appeared in Brockton District Court where District Court Judge John Canavan set bail at $20,000 cash, according to a spokeswoman for Plymouth District Attorney Timothy J. Cruz.

Treseler is also charged with two counts of indecent assault and battery on a child under 14 years old and allegedly committed the crimes on a number of days during this year’s semester, according to Cruz’ office.

McGovern said Treseler was tutoring at the school as a part of a federal work study program called America Counts. He said Stonehill is provided federal money that the school then uses to pay the students to do the classroom work.
