Winston Nguyen, a former math teacher and 'Jeopardy!' champion, was sentenced to seven years in prison for posing as a teenager on social media to solicit nude images from minors. He pleaded guilty to serious charges, including the use of a child in a sexual performance. Prosecutors highlighted the abuse of trust involved, with the children being between 13 and 15 years old at the time. Nguyen expressed remorse through his attorney, seeking to undergo restorative measures with the victim's families. He will also register as a sex offender post-release.
Prosecutors said Nguyen, who taught at Saint Ann's School in the tony Brooklyn Heights neighborhood, pretended to be a teenage boy on Snapchat and himself sent nude images and videos to children.
Brooklyn District Attorney Eric Gonzalez stated, 'This was a sickening betrayal of trust by a schoolteacher who solicited students into sending him graphic and nude photos.'
