Charles Oross
Another New York City public school teacher has pleaded guilty to charges involving sexual misconduct during a relationship between he and a 13-year-old student.
“This defendant is rightly being punished for his actions. It is both sad and disturbing that a school teacher preyed on a vulnerable young girl for sexual favors,” said District Attorney Richard Brown in a statement. “Such behavior will not be tolerated.”
The defendant was identified as Charles Oross, 45, of 197 Jefferson Street, in East Islip, New York. Oross was employed as an eighth grade teacher at I.S. 238, the Susan B. Anthony School, located at 88-15 182nd Street and pleaded guilty to one count of second-degree criminal sexual act in satisfaction of all the charges against him.
The judge indicated he would sentence the defendant to up to six months in jail and 10 years probation when he is sentenced on October 18.
The defendant will also be required to participate in a sex offender treatment program, to register as a sex offender and to pay a $1,000 supplemental sex offender fee.
