A Brooklyn high school gym teacher was charged with sending inappropriate sexual material to a student, according to the New York Daily News.
Michael Boitano, 40, employed at the John Jay Educational Complex in Park Slope, allegedly traded Snapchat messages with his then-16-year-old student in October — and allegedly used the social media platform to send her a picture of his privates, authorities told the newspaper.
Boitano was arrested Wednesday. He was charged during a Brooklyn Criminal Court arraignment with disseminating indecent material to minors, official misconduct by a public servant, and endangering the welfare of a child, the paper said.
The disturbing picture was accompanied by an inappropriate message in which the married teacher asked the girl if she would like to kiss him.
“I know you’ve said you’ve been with a guy before and would totally be with a white guy at least once,” Boitano said in the message, according to Assistant Brooklyn District Attorney Kellen Michuda. “I don’t know if you were hinting something. I know you said you hate kissing. Unsure what you were trying to signal, but let’s say I was to try and kiss you. Would you kiss me back?”
