Brooklyn Teacher Arrested for Improper Touching
BROOKLYN — A Brooklyn high school teacher was arrested Tuesday after a student accused him of inappropriately touching her on school grounds — the latest in a rash of criminal cases alleging sexual and other misconduct by public school employees.
Esran Boothe, 49, was arrested after a 16-year-old girl student at the Brooklyn Academy of Science and the Environment in Crown Heights filed a complaint with police Friday.
Prosecutors had no comment on Tuesday. The name of an attorney for Boothe was not immediately available.
