Brooklyn Educator Is Accused of Sexually Abusing a Student.

A physical education teacher at a Brooklyn high school was arrested on Tuesday after the police said he grabbed the buttocks of a 16-year-old female student. He is at least the sixth New York City school worker charged in two months with a sexual offense against a student. The teacher, Esran Boothe, 49, of the Brooklyn Academy of Science and the Environment in Crown Heights, was charged with forcible touching and third-degree sexual abuse, both misdemeanors, the police said, adding that the charges arose from a single episode.
