NYC teacher aide accused of sex abuse NEW YORK, Feb. 7 (UPI) -- A teacher's aide faces federal charges he sexually abused and videotaped children at the New York City elementary school where he worked, authorities say. Taleek Brooks, who was employed at Public School 243 in New York's Brooklyn borough, was arrested by the Federal Bureau of Investigation Monday night, a law enforcement official familiar with the case told The New York Times. The official said Brooks had been out on bail after being arrested Jan. 13 on charges of possession and distribution of child pornography, the newspaper reported. That arrest allegedly led authorities to videos on Brooks' home computer that showed him molesting children in a classroom that appears to be in the P.S. 243 building. It wasn't clear how many children may have been involved. Brooks, who was suspended following his arrest last month, has worked at the school since 1995. He worked at two other Brooklyn elementary schools and a middle school prior to that, the Times said. Brooks' attorney had no immediate comment on the case, the newspaper said. Schools Chancellor Dennis M. Walcott issued a statement, saying he was "horrified and disgusted" upon learning of the charges Tuesday. "I immediately called the principal and went to the school to offer my support," Walcott said. Our paramount concern is for the safety of our students, and we are cooperating fully with the federal authorities as they continue their investigation. The administrator said school officials would be communicating with parents. "My personal reaction is one of disgust on the part of this individual," Walcott said. This case is a horrendous case, and it's something that should not be tolerated.
