Brooklyn High School Teacher Arrested For Having 3-Year Relationship With StudentA Brooklyn high school teacher was pulled from her classroom and arrested after a teenage female student said they shared a three-year “intimate relationship,” education officials and law enforcement sources said.
Cops arrested and charged Urszula Jankowska, an English teacher at Williamsburg High School for Architecture and Design, with:
The allegation of a racy relationship between Jankowska and the student surfaced after Jankowska told a school principal that the girl had been posting threatening messages on her Facebook page, sources said.
- committing a criminal sex act
- forcible touching
- and endangering the welfare of a child
The student then told a school counselor that she and Jankowska began a relationship in 2008, when the girl was 13, law enforcement sources said. The student said the relationship ended in October 2011, sources said.
Jankowska — who taught English at the Williamsburg high school from 2008 until last fall, when she switched to English as a second language — was promptly suspended, education officials said.This was a long relationship between the teacher and student. We are surprised no one knew or found out about it before now. The teacher must have worked very hard to convince the student to keep things quiet or provided the student with 'things' in order to maintain the relationship from getting out. Either way, the teacher is dead wrong for having a relationship with this young female student and she needs to pay dearly for her actions.
“This violent sexual predator faces the remainder of his life behind bars,” Brooklyn District Attorney Charles Hynes said. “This should serve as a clear message that those who would sexually abuse children in this county will be punished severely.”Yegutkin became a close friend of the victims’ family after attending the school where the victims’ father worked, and visited their home frequently. The victims did not attend Yegutkin’s school, the prosecutor’s office said.
The head of a northern Virginia private school says the school is "deeply disturbed" by the news that a former longtime teacher has been charged with sexual assaults involving four of his students from the 1960s.
Fairfax County Police on Friday arrested 73-year-old Christopher Kloman of McLean after a yearlong investigation.
Police opened the case after receiving a report from a 55-year-old woman who was a student of Kloman's at the Potomac School. She came forward after running into Kloman at the Washington Episcopal School, where he was teaching at the time. Police say their investigation found three other alleged victims, all girls ages 12 and 14 when the alleged incidents occurred between 1968 and 1969.
"We are deeply disturbed by this news and our hearts are with the entire Potomac community, past and present, as we work through this difficult time," wrote Potomac School head Geoffrey Jones in a note to parents Friday that was reported by The Washington Post.
Kloman worked at the Potomac School from 1965 to 1994, police said. The school confirmed he was both a teacher and an administrator and said in a statement Saturday that it is cooperating with Fairfax County's investigation.
A message left at a telephone listing for Kloman's home in McLean was not immediately returned Saturday. Kloman is being held at the Fairfax County Adult Detention Center, and the jail said he is set to appear in court Monday.
The Potomac School was founded in 1904 and has students in kindergarten through 12th grade. Approximately 1,000 students attend the school.
