Former PS 249 science teacher, Omil Carrasquillo is facing up to two dozen counts of sexual abuse and endangering the welfare of a child after nine students, between ages 8-11, have come forward about Carrasquillo’s inappropriate advances. The Brooklyn teacher’s claims is that the alleged abuse was nothing more than a, “hug” for the students when they were doing well. WHAT HAPPENED TO A GOLD STICKER STAR? Carrasquillo was a teacher for eight years prior to the breaking of this news. When they had found out about the abuse, PS 249 took immediate action.”These allegations are disturbing, and we removed Mr. Carrasquillo immediately: He is not near any students. We are investigating the matter and supporting this school community,” the New York City Department of Education said in a statement. This was after they had her stories from four different students. During the investigation, PS 249 came across five more students alleging sexual abuse. Carrasquillo later resigned. Investigators say the incidents involved the teacher touching the girls’ private parts and rubbing their breasts and buttocks. Drop down bottom for more.
