NYC high school teacher allegedly groped girl, 16, declared ‘I like your butt’: cops, sources

A shocking incident occurred at a Brooklyn high school this week, resulting in the arrest of a 48-year-old teacher named Steven Schnee. The teacher was accused of groping a 16-year-old girl and making inappropriate remarks towards her during the incident.

According to sources, Schnee allegedly touched the teen inappropriately on her leg at the Lafayette Educational Complex in Gravesend. He reportedly told the girl, “You’re beautiful” and “I like your butt,” which added to the disturbing nature of the situation.

Schnee was taken into custody on Wednesday and now faces charges of forcible touching, endangering the welfare of a child, sexual abuse, and harassment. His arraignment in Brooklyn Criminal Court is pending as of Thursday.

The Lafayette Educational Complex is home to multiple schools, but it remains unclear where Schnee was assigned at the time of the incident. The Department of Education has not yet commented on the situation.

This unfortunate event serves as a reminder of the importance of maintaining a safe and respectful environment for students in educational institutions. It is crucial for authorities to take swift action in response to such incidents to ensure the well-being and protection of all students.
