Winston Nguyen, a former math teacher at Saint Ann's Schools in Brooklyn Heights, has pleaded guilty to soliciting lewd images from underage students. His actions, which began in October 2022 and lasted nearly two years, include enlisting minors for sexual performances and endangering their welfare. Prosecutors confirmed that he will likely receive a seven-year prison sentence and must register as a sex offender. The plea deal is designed to protect the vulnerable victims from the trauma of courtroom testimony, according to Brooklyn District Attorney Eric Gonzalez.
"Today's plea holds this defendant responsible for his disturbing and predatory conduct while sparing young and vulnerable victims from ever having to testify about their traumatic experiences."
"Authorities said they tracked the Snapchat accounts to IP addresses linked to the former teacher, using evidence of the online messages in their investigation."
