Police have arrested two different NYC Department of Education employees in the Bronx and in Brooklyn on unrelated charges of sex crimes against children. The two DOE workers are Norman Dunkley and Brian Quinones.
Dunkley is accused of touching the breast of one ten year old girl and showing multiple other ten year old girls photos of a naked woman. Police believe Dunkley may have other victims, given he has been with the NYC Department of Education for 23 years, according to NBC.
Quinones, an employee at Midwood High School, is facing multiple charges for child exploitation and an 11-count indictment.
The US Attorney for the Eastern District of New York, Breon Peace called Quinones "a prolific trader of child pornography." He went on to say that Quinones "posed as a woman in order to solicit sexually explicit videos from a minor boy, then blackmailed the victim with cruel threats to post the material on the Internet."
Police do not believe any students at Midwood were targeted by Quinones, but are still encouraging the public to come forward with any information that may be helpful. Given Quinones' proclivity for online crimes, police are not ruling out the possibility of other potential victims.
Neighbors in the area are disturbed by both of the arrests. One woman told ABC7, "I'm thinking about taking my daughter out of that school being that she's a female."
Another said, "For me to find this out is very overwhelming, and it's a disgrace."
These arrests come just weeks after another NYC school teacher in the Bronx faces charges for allegedly choking a student who was just twelve years old.
While Dunkley and Quinones were gainfully employed by the NYC Department of Education last year, over 880 students were arrested at New York City public schools in 2021, according to Public School Review.
NYC Mayor Eric Adams has not commented on the arrests of Dunkley and Quinones, or other disturbing arrests of NYC teachers in recent months. Adams is still amidst controversy for toddler masking policies, as mask requirements in schools are only in place for those under five years old.
