Month: September 2024

An ex-con “Jeopardy!” winner hired to teach at an elite Brooklyn private school catfished kids and fooled them into sending him X-rated photos of themselves, prosecutors revealed Thursday. A 30-count criminal complaint laid bare the depths of the alleged depravity of Winston Nguyen, who was dramatically arrested in front of his students last month and initially released without charges as the investigation continued.Gay porno Nguyen, 37, turned himself in Thursday morning to face accusations that he posted as a teenager on Snapchat and engaged in hundreds of sexualized chats with kids as young as 13, trolling them for nudes and videos of sexual performances. Nguyen victimized at least six youngsters, five girls and one boy between 13 and 15, who attended a posh cluster of Brooklyn private schools: Berkeley Carroll School, Packer Collegiate Institute, Poly Prep Country Day School and his employer, Saint Ann’s School, prosecutors said. “He elicited from those minors photographs sent to him in various forms of nudity,” Assistant District Attorney Daniel Brian Newcombe said in Brooklyn Criminal Court Thursday. Nguyen stayed silent, staring straight ahead as he left court and faced a barrage of questions from reporters following his arraignment, where a judge set his bail at $30,000. He faces charges of use of a child in a sexual performance and promoting a sexual performance, among other felonies. The alleged catfishing spree unfolded from October 2022 to May, during which time Nguyen used his teenager ruse at least 11 times via two Snapchat accounts under the names “hunterkristoff” and “haircutbongos,” prosecutors said. Nguyen allegedly had similar predatory online interactions with several other children, officials said. Law-enforcement sources said he’s believed to have contacted hundreds of teens, but it’s unclear if all were private school kids in the city. Investigators found no evidence the Saint Ann’s victim was a student of Nguyen, nor did it appear he met the teens face-to-face, the sources said. Instead, Nguyen allegedly lured the teens into sending him nude or sexually graphic images as he pretended to be a teen on Snapchat, Newcombe said in court. He also shared some of the sickening child porn he obtained with other victims, officials said. In one case, Nguyen offered to pay a 15-year-old who sent him a video of them performing a sexual act in May, the most recent incident detailed in the criminal complaint. Prosecutors said he also sent a 14-year-old a sexually explicit video of a nude boy, whom investigators tracked to another state and found he was 16 years old. Images of several minors were found during a search of Nguyen’s phone, sources said. The two Snapchat accounts were linked to internet networks near Nguyen’s Harlem apartment, prosecutors said. Investigators are looking into whether Nguyen contacted teens outside of New York City, the sources said. Representatives from all four private schools didn’t return The Post’s requests for comment. The charges came more than a month after authorities arrested Nguyen in front of a crowd of students at the elite Saint Ann’s School in Brooklyn Heights, where he taught math to students whose parents pay upward of $60,000 a year in tuition. The pre-K-to-12 school boasts famous alumni such as Jean-Michel Basquiat, Jennifer Connelly, Lena Dunham and Maya Hawke. Nguyen was sprung loose as investigators with the Brooklyn District Attorney’s Office pulled together evidence from his devices – a probe that ultimately led to his charges. “We always expected this day to come,” Nguyen’s attorney, Frank Rothman told The Post on Thursday, saying he’d been in touch with prosecutors since Nguyen’s original arrest in June. Rothman in court called the accusations “quite disturbing.” But he successfully asked Judge Michael Pinto for a bail package lower than the $50,000 sought by prosecutors, arguing Nguyen surrendered and cooperated with the investigation. Nguyen, who was dressed in a white shirt, black jacket, blue pants and Adidas shoes, is due back in court Oct. 17. The criminal complaint will go to a grand jury for a potential indictment, sources said. This isn’t Nguyen’s first brush with the law, or mass attention. He was a contestant on “Jeopardy!” twice in 2014, winning one episode of the iconic game show. But while Nguyen put on an affable face as a winning quiz show contestant, authorities said he illegally used his day job – a home health aide to a 96-year-old and his 92-year-old wife – as personal piggy bank. Nyugen stole more than $300,000 from the couple, which he used to pay for ballet tickets, Broadway shows and Florida vacations, Manhattan prosecutors said. He eventually pleaded guilty in 2018 to three charges, including endangering the welfare of a disabled person, court records show. During Nyugen’s six-month jail term, he called into former Mayor Bill de Blasio’s weekly appearance on WNYC’s “The Brian Lehrer Show ” to gripe about conditions in Rikers Island, from ill-fitting “clown” shoes to overcrowding. After his bit, he unsuccessfully sued the city over the jail’s conditions. He remained on probation during the time of his latest arrests, and hadn’t been a problem, Rothman said. Rothman said he expects Nguyen’s arrest will amount to a probation violation in the Manhattan case. He’ll represent him in that case, which is set for an Aug. 5 hearing. Nguyen landed a job at Saint Ann’s in 2020, despite his criminal record. The hire raised concerns among families, one parent previously told The Post. “A lot of parents are deeply shocked and angry about this — that the school had allowed a convicted felon to become a teacher,” the parent said. — Additional reporting by Aneeta Bhole Advertisement

The former US President, 78 walked off the stage alone after his ever-so-slightly better debate performance as his wife, Melania, 54, was once again absent. It marked another chapter in Trump’s lonely election campaign in which he frequently appears solo; a stark contrast to his 2016 bid to win the keys to the White House which was a family affair; with Melania, daughter Ivanka and sons Donald Jr and Eric taking centre stage. However the early stages of this year’s presidential campaign are taking place in the wake of a criminal trial in which Trump was convicted over making hush money payments from campaign money to porn star Stormy Daniels over a previous affair when Melania was pregnant with their son, Barron – something Trump denies. As Donald Trump makes another bid for the White House in the November 2024 Presidential Election, the woman who was by his side throughout his first campaign, Melania Trump, is missing in action (couple pictured together at Barron’s graduation) As both candidates prepared to take to the stage in Atlanta, GA, last night, there were whispers over whether or not Melania would be waiting in the wings to watch her husband.  The former president walked off Trump Force One solo when he arrived in Atlanta on Thursday afternoon.  In contrast, the White House has announced Jill Biden will attend the debate and a rally with President Biden on Friday in Atlanta. Donald Trump, the Republican nominee for the presidency, cut a lonely figure on stage last night as he took on Joe Biden in Atlanta, Florida ‘Families started attending the debates regularly in 1976 and it would be pretty shocking for the wife of a candidate to break that tradition,’ presidential historian Dr. Lindsay Chervinsky said. Melania’s absence comes amid reports she may not live in Washington D.C full-time if her husband wins the 2024 Presidential Election in November. Those close to the former first lady believe she will likely split her time between Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach, Florida, and New York City – especially with Barron, 18, tipped to attend New York University.  Melania would instead only travel to Washington, D.C. for ceremonial responsibilities like state dinners and other special events.  Melania’s absence during this campaign is a stark contrast to 2016 during which she was always by her husband’s side and took a starring role in his bid for the presidency If Trump wins the White House again in November, it has been reported that Melania will not live in Washington D.C full-time and will instead join her son Barron (pictured) in New York The decision not to live with in Washington is an unprecedented move for a first lady and a break in two-and-a-half centuries of tradition. ‘She’s distancing herself even more from her husband and from the Washington social political scene,’ Kate Andersen Brower, who’s written several books on first ladies, told Axios. ‘I mean, she clearly hated being in Washington.’ And if Trump does win in November, insiders say she will continue keeping her distance from the East Wing and D.C. ‘Melania does what Melania wants.’ Washington Post associate editor Mary Jordan, who has written a book about Melania saying, making her ‘stand out from other first ladies’. Melania’s absence comes in the wake of Donald Trump’s hush money trial in which he was convicted of campaign fraud over payments to porn star Stormy Daniels  However, her recent absence comes in the wake of her husband’s hush money trial in New York, which saw him convicted of 34 counts of fraud under campaign finance laws. The trial focused on payments made from campaign funds in the 2016 Presidential Election to porn star Stormy Daniels; with whom he had an affair when Melania was pregnant with Barron.  In a blistering testimony, Daniels took to the stand to eviscerate Trump as she gave an excruciatingly detailed account of her night with the then-businessman. She detailed how she had sex with Trump in the ‘missionary position’ while still wearing her bra, accused him of not using protection and painted a picture of how Trump was laid spread-eagled on the bed waiting for her while wearing a T-shirt and boxer shorts. Daniels also claimed she ‘spanked’ the President with a rolled-up magazine.  The incident allegedly occurred 18 years ago, a year into President Trump’s marriage to Melania – and shortly after she fell pregnant with their son Barron. Although it’s likely Melania knew many of the details ahead of the trial, Trump’s former fixer Michael Cohen delivered a line that may have hit hard – that the president ‘wasn’t thinking’ about Melania in choosing to hush up the Daniels liaison because: ‘This was all about the campaign.’  Cohen further testified that when he had asked Trump if news of the affair might lead to Melania divorcing him, Trump casually replied: ‘Don’t worry … How long do you think I’ll be on the market for?’  In April, a source told the New York Times that Melania had accepted Trump’s argument that the case against him was a ‘disgrace’: a cynical attempt to damage his election prospects.  Yet if The Donald had consequently hoped for a public statement of support from his wife, none came. Indeed, according to insiders, Melania has privately referred to the Daniels case as ‘his problem’. Stephanie Grisham, Melania’s former press secretary and chief of staff, said that she knew Melania’s absence from his trial ‘absolutely bothers him’, adding: ‘If Mrs Trump wasn’t at some event [when Trump was President] and it was really noted, he would definitely bring it up with her.’  As the salacious details spilled out of the trial and made headlines around the world, Melania stayed away and was not seen in public at all until a few days after proceedings had concluded. Even Trump’s children, who have also taken a backseat during this campaign, supported the Republican nominee in his trial, with Eric, Donald Jr and Tiffany turning up to the courtroom, while his golden child Ivanka posted on Instagram: ‘I love you Dad.’  After the trial concluded, pundits suggested that Melania’s presence in court would have hugely helped his campaign hopes. Despite Trump’s 34 convictions, he is continuing to rally support at events around the country – but notably, Melania has not been by his side at a single campaign event so far this year. ‘Stay tuned,’ Melania said last month when asked if Americans could expect to see more of her on the campaign trail soon.  While she has not made any public appearances alongside her husband during campaigning, she is said to be attending some private fundraising events. The last time the couple were seen in public together was on May 17th, at their son’s high school graduation.

The trial focused on payments made from campaign funds in the 2016 Presidential Election to porn star Stormy Daniels; with whom he had an affair when Melania was pregnant with Barron.  In a blistering testimony, Daniels took to the stand to eviscerate Trump as she gave an excruciatingly detailed account of her night with the then-businessman. She detailed how she had sex with Trump in the ‘missionary position’ while still wearing her bra, accused him of not using protection and painted a picture of how Trump was laid spread-eagled on the bed waiting for her while wearing a T-shirt and boxer shorts. Daniels also claimed she ‘spanked’ the President with a rolled-up magazine.  The incident allegedly occurred 18 years ago, a year into President Trump’s marriage to Melania – and shortly after she fell pregnant with their son Barron. Although it’s likely Melania knew many of the details ahead of the trial, Trump’s former fixer Michael Cohen delivered a line that may have hit hard – that the president ‘wasn’t thinking’ about Melania in choosing to hush up the Daniels liaison because: ‘This was all about the campaign.’  Cohen further testified that when he had asked Trump if news of the affair might lead to Melania divorcing him, Trump casually replied: ‘Don’t worry … How long do you think I’ll be on the market for?’  In April, a source told the New York Times that Melania had accepted Trump’s argument that the case against him was a ‘disgrace’: a cynical attempt to damage his election prospects.  Yet if The Donald had consequently hoped for a public statement of support from his wife, none came. Indeed, according to insiders, Melania has privately referred to the Daniels case as ‘his problem’. Stephanie Grisham, Melania’s former press secretary and chief of staff, said that she knew Melania’s absence from his trial ‘absolutely bothers him’, adding: ‘If Mrs Trump wasn’t at some event [when Trump was President] and it was really noted, he would definitely bring it up with her.’  As the salacious details spilled out of the trial and made headlines around the world, Melania stayed away and was not seen in public at all until a few days after proceedings had concluded. Even Trump’s children, who have also taken a backseat during this campaign, supported the Republican nominee in his trial, with Eric, Donald Jr and Tiffany turning up to the courtroom, while his golden child Ivanka posted on Instagram: ‘I love you Dad.’  After the trial concluded, pundits suggested that Melania’s presence in court would have hugely helped his campaign hopes. Despite Trump’s 34 convictions, he is continuing to rally support at events around the country – but notably, Melania has not been by his side at a single campaign event so far this year. ‘Stay tuned,’ Melania said last month when asked if Americans could expect to see more of her on the campaign trail soon.  While she has not made any public appearances alongside her husband during campaigning, she is said to be attending some private fundraising events. The last time the couple were seen in public together was on May 17th, at their son’s high school graduation.

An ex-con “Jeopardy!” winner hired to teach at an elite Brooklyn private school catfished kids and fooled them into sending him X-rated photos of themselves, prosecutors revealed Thursday. A 30-count criminal complaint laid bare the depths of the alleged depravity of Winston Nguyen, who was dramatically arrested in front of his students last month and initially released without charges as the investigation continued.Gay porno Nguyen, 37, turned himself in Thursday morning to face accusations that he posted as a teenager on Snapchat and engaged in hundreds of sexualized chats with kids as young as 13, trolling them for nudes and videos of sexual performances. Nguyen victimized at least six youngsters, five girls and one boy between 13 and 15, who attended a posh cluster of Brooklyn private schools: Berkeley Carroll School, Packer Collegiate Institute, Poly Prep Country Day School and his employer, Saint Ann’s School, prosecutors said. “He elicited from those minors photographs sent to him in various forms of nudity,” Assistant District Attorney Daniel Brian Newcombe said in Brooklyn Criminal Court Thursday. Nguyen stayed silent, staring straight ahead as he left court and faced a barrage of questions from reporters following his arraignment, where a judge set his bail at $30,000. He faces charges of use of a child in a sexual performance and promoting a sexual performance, among other felonies. The alleged catfishing spree unfolded from October 2022 to May, during which time Nguyen used his teenager ruse at least 11 times via two Snapchat accounts under the names “hunterkristoff” and “haircutbongos,” prosecutors said. Nguyen allegedly had similar predatory online interactions with several other children, officials said. Law-enforcement sources said he’s believed to have contacted hundreds of teens, but it’s unclear if all were private school kids in the city. Investigators found no evidence the Saint Ann’s victim was a student of Nguyen, nor did it appear he met the teens face-to-face, the sources said. Instead, Nguyen allegedly lured the teens into sending him nude or sexually graphic images as he pretended to be a teen on Snapchat, Newcombe said in court. He also shared some of the sickening child porn he obtained with other victims, officials said. In one case, Nguyen offered to pay a 15-year-old who sent him a video of them performing a sexual act in May, the most recent incident detailed in the criminal complaint. Prosecutors said he also sent a 14-year-old a sexually explicit video of a nude boy, whom investigators tracked to another state and found he was 16 years old. Images of several minors were found during a search of Nguyen’s phone, sources said. The two Snapchat accounts were linked to internet networks near Nguyen’s Harlem apartment, prosecutors said. Investigators are looking into whether Nguyen contacted teens outside of New York City, the sources said. Representatives from all four private schools didn’t return The Post’s requests for comment. The charges came more than a month after authorities arrested Nguyen in front of a crowd of students at the elite Saint Ann’s School in Brooklyn Heights, where he taught math to students whose parents pay upward of $60,000 a year in tuition. The pre-K-to-12 school boasts famous alumni such as Jean-Michel Basquiat, Jennifer Connelly, Lena Dunham and Maya Hawke. Nguyen was sprung loose as investigators with the Brooklyn District Attorney’s Office pulled together evidence from his devices – a probe that ultimately led to his charges. “We always expected this day to come,” Nguyen’s attorney, Frank Rothman told The Post on Thursday, saying he’d been in touch with prosecutors since Nguyen’s original arrest in June. Rothman in court called the accusations “quite disturbing.” But he successfully asked Judge Michael Pinto for a bail package lower than the $50,000 sought by prosecutors, arguing Nguyen surrendered and cooperated with the investigation. Nguyen, who was dressed in a white shirt, black jacket, blue pants and Adidas shoes, is due back in court Oct. 17. The criminal complaint will go to a grand jury for a potential indictment, sources said. This isn’t Nguyen’s first brush with the law, or mass attention. He was a contestant on “Jeopardy!” twice in 2014, winning one episode of the iconic game show. But while Nguyen put on an affable face as a winning quiz show contestant, authorities said he illegally used his day job – a home health aide to a 96-year-old and his 92-year-old wife – as personal piggy bank. Nyugen stole more than $300,000 from the couple, which he used to pay for ballet tickets, Broadway shows and Florida vacations, Manhattan prosecutors said. He eventually pleaded guilty in 2018 to three charges, including endangering the welfare of a disabled person, court records show. During Nyugen’s six-month jail term, he called into former Mayor Bill de Blasio’s weekly appearance on WNYC’s “The Brian Lehrer Show ” to gripe about conditions in Rikers Island, from ill-fitting “clown” shoes to overcrowding. After his bit, he unsuccessfully sued the city over the jail’s conditions. He remained on probation during the time of his latest arrests, and hadn’t been a problem, Rothman said. Rothman said he expects Nguyen’s arrest will amount to a probation violation in the Manhattan case. He’ll represent him in that case, which is set for an Aug. 5 hearing. Nguyen landed a job at Saint Ann’s in 2020, despite his criminal record. The hire raised concerns among families, one parent previously told The Post. “A lot of parents are deeply shocked and angry about this — that the school had allowed a convicted felon to become a teacher,” the parent said. — Additional reporting by Aneeta Bhole Advertisement

The former US President, 78 walked off the stage alone after his ever-so-slightly better debate performance as his wife, Melania, 54, was once again absent. It marked another chapter in Trump’s lonely election campaign in which he frequently appears solo; a stark contrast to his 2016 bid to win the keys to the White House which was a family affair; with Melania, daughter Ivanka and sons Donald Jr and Eric taking centre stage. However the early stages of this year’s presidential campaign are taking place in the wake of a criminal trial in which Trump was convicted over making hush money payments from campaign money to porn star Stormy Daniels over a previous affair when Melania was pregnant with their son, Barron – something Trump denies. As Donald Trump makes another bid for the White House in the November 2024 Presidential Election, the woman who was by his side throughout his first campaign, Melania Trump, is missing in action (couple pictured together at Barron’s graduation) As both candidates prepared to take to the stage in Atlanta, GA, last night, there were whispers over whether or not Melania would be waiting in the wings to watch her husband.  The former president walked off Trump Force One solo when he arrived in Atlanta on Thursday afternoon.  In contrast, the White House has announced Jill Biden will attend the debate and a rally with President Biden on Friday in Atlanta. Donald Trump, the Republican nominee for the presidency, cut a lonely figure on stage last night as he took on Joe Biden in Atlanta, Florida ‘Families started attending the debates regularly in 1976 and it would be pretty shocking for the wife of a candidate to break that tradition,’ presidential historian Dr. Lindsay Chervinsky said.

Rothman said he expects Nguyen’s arrest will amount to a probation violation in the Manhattan case. He’ll represent him in that case, which is set for an Aug. 5 hearing. Nguyen landed a job at Saint Ann’s in 2020, despite his criminal record. The hire raised concerns among families, one parent previously told The Post. “A lot of parents are deeply shocked and angry about this — that the school had allowed a convicted felon to become a teacher,” the parent said. — Additional reporting by Aneeta Bhole Advertisement

The former US President, 78 walked off the stage alone after his ever-so-slightly better debate performance as his wife, Melania, 54, was once again absent. It marked another chapter in Trump’s lonely election campaign in which he frequently appears solo; a stark contrast to his 2016 bid to win the keys to the White House which was a family affair; with Melania, daughter Ivanka and sons Donald Jr and Eric taking centre stage. However the early stages of this year’s presidential campaign are taking place in the wake of a criminal trial in which Trump was convicted over making hush money payments from campaign money to porn star Stormy Daniels over a previous affair when Melania was pregnant with their son, Barron – something Trump denies. As Donald Trump makes another bid for the White House in the November 2024 Presidential Election, the woman who was by his side throughout his first campaign, Melania Trump, is missing in action (couple pictured together at Barron’s graduation) As both candidates prepared to take to the stage in Atlanta, GA, last night, there were whispers over whether or not Melania would be waiting in the wings to watch her husband.  The former president walked off Trump Force One solo when he arrived in Atlanta on Thursday afternoon.  In contrast, the White House has announced Jill Biden will attend the debate and a rally with President Biden on Friday in Atlanta. Donald Trump, the Republican nominee for the presidency, cut a lonely figure on stage last night as he took on Joe Biden in Atlanta, Florida ‘Families started attending the debates regularly in 1976 and it would be pretty shocking for the wife of a candidate to break that tradition,’ presidential historian Dr. Lindsay Chervinsky said. Melania’s absence comes amid reports she may not live in Washington D.C full-time if her husband wins the 2024 Presidential Election in November. Those close to the former first lady believe she will likely split her time between Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach, Florida, and New York City – especially with Barron, 18, tipped to attend New York University.  Melania would instead only travel to Washington, D.C. for ceremonial responsibilities like state dinners and other special events.  Melania’s absence during this campaign is a stark contrast to 2016 during which she was always by her husband’s side and took a starring role in his bid for the presidency If Trump wins the White House again in November, it has been reported that Melania will not live in Washington D.C full-time and will instead join her son Barron (pictured) in New York The decision not to live with in Washington is an unprecedented move for a first lady and a break in two-and-a-half centuries of tradition. ‘She’s distancing herself even more from her husband and from the Washington social political scene,’ Kate Andersen Brower, who’s written several books on first ladies, told Axios. ‘I mean, she clearly hated being in Washington.’ And if Trump does win in November, insiders say she will continue keeping her distance from the East Wing and D.C. ‘Melania does what Melania wants.’ Washington Post associate editor Mary Jordan, who has written a book about Melania saying, making her ‘stand out from other first ladies’. Melania’s absence comes in the wake of Donald Trump’s hush money trial in which he was convicted of campaign fraud over payments to porn star Stormy Daniels  However, her recent absence comes in the wake of her husband’s hush money trial in New York, which saw him convicted of 34 counts of fraud under campaign finance laws. The trial focused on payments made from campaign funds in the 2016 Presidential Election to porn star Stormy Daniels; with whom he had an affair when Melania was pregnant with Barron.  In a blistering testimony, Daniels took to the stand to eviscerate Trump as she gave an excruciatingly detailed account of her night with the then-businessman. She detailed how she had sex with Trump in the ‘missionary position’ while still wearing her bra, accused him of not using protection and painted a picture of how Trump was laid spread-eagled on the bed waiting for her while wearing a T-shirt and boxer shorts. Daniels also claimed she ‘spanked’ the President with a rolled-up magazine.  The incident allegedly occurred 18 years ago, a year into President Trump’s marriage to Melania – and shortly after she fell pregnant with their son Barron. Although it’s likely Melania knew many of the details ahead of the trial, Trump’s former fixer Michael Cohen delivered a line that may have hit hard – that the president ‘wasn’t thinking’ about Melania in choosing to hush up the Daniels liaison because: ‘This was all about the campaign.’  Cohen further testified that when he had asked Trump if news of the affair might lead to Melania divorcing him, Trump casually replied: ‘Don’t worry … How long do you think I’ll be on the market for?’  In April, a source told the New York Times that Melania had accepted Trump’s argument that the case against him was a ‘disgrace’: a cynical attempt to damage his election prospects.  Yet if The Donald had consequently hoped for a public statement of support from his wife, none came. Indeed, according to insiders, Melania has privately referred to the Daniels case as ‘his problem’. Stephanie Grisham, Melania’s former press secretary and chief of staff, said that she knew Melania’s absence from his trial ‘absolutely bothers him’, adding: ‘If Mrs Trump wasn’t at some event [when Trump was President] and it was really noted, he would definitely bring it up with her.’  As the salacious details spilled out of the trial and made headlines around the world, Melania stayed away and was not seen in public at all until a few days after proceedings had concluded. Even Trump’s children, who have also taken a backseat during this campaign, supported the Republican nominee in his trial, with Eric, Donald Jr and Tiffany turning up to the courtroom, while his golden child Ivanka posted on Instagram: ‘I love you Dad.’  After the trial concluded, pundits suggested that Melania’s presence in court would have hugely helped his campaign hopes. Despite Trump’s 34 convictions, he is continuing to rally support at events around the country – but notably, Melania has not been by his side at a single campaign event so far this year. ‘Stay tuned,’ Melania said last month when asked if Americans could expect to see more of her on the campaign trail soon.  While she has not made any public appearances alongside her husband during campaigning, she is said to be attending some private fundraising events. The last time the couple were seen in public together was on May 17th, at their son’s high school graduation.

An ex-con “Jeopardy!” winner hired to teach at an elite Brooklyn private school catfished kids and fooled them into sending him X-rated photos of themselves, prosecutors revealed Thursday. A 30-count criminal complaint laid bare the depths of the alleged depravity of Winston Nguyen, who was dramatically arrested in front of his students last month and initially released without charges as the investigation continued.Gay porno Nguyen, 37, turned himself in Thursday morning to face accusations that he posted as a teenager on Snapchat and engaged in hundreds of sexualized chats with kids as young as 13, trolling them for nudes and videos of sexual performances. Nguyen victimized at least six youngsters, five girls and one boy between 13 and 15, who attended a posh cluster of Brooklyn private schools: Berkeley Carroll School, Packer Collegiate Institute, Poly Prep Country Day School and his employer, Saint Ann’s School, prosecutors said. “He elicited from those minors photographs sent to him in various forms of nudity,” Assistant District Attorney Daniel Brian Newcombe said in Brooklyn Criminal Court Thursday. Nguyen stayed silent, staring straight ahead as he left court and faced a barrage of questions from reporters following his arraignment, where a judge set his bail at $30,000. He faces charges of use of a child in a sexual performance and promoting a sexual performance, among other felonies. The alleged catfishing spree unfolded from October 2022 to May, during which time Nguyen used his teenager ruse at least 11 times via two Snapchat accounts under the names “hunterkristoff” and “haircutbongos,” prosecutors said. Nguyen allegedly had similar predatory online interactions with several other children, officials said. Law-enforcement sources said he’s believed to have contacted hundreds of teens, but it’s unclear if all were private school kids in the city. Investigators found no evidence the Saint Ann’s victim was a student of Nguyen, nor did it appear he met the teens face-to-face, the sources said. Instead, Nguyen allegedly lured the teens into sending him nude or sexually graphic images as he pretended to be a teen on Snapchat, Newcombe said in court. He also shared some of the sickening child porn he obtained with other victims, officials said. In one case, Nguyen offered to pay a 15-year-old who sent him a video of them performing a sexual act in May, the most recent incident detailed in the criminal complaint. Prosecutors said he also sent a 14-year-old a sexually explicit video of a nude boy, whom investigators tracked to another state and found he was 16 years old. Images of several minors were found during a search of Nguyen’s phone, sources said. The two Snapchat accounts were linked to internet networks near Nguyen’s Harlem apartment, prosecutors said. Investigators are looking into whether Nguyen contacted teens outside of New York City, the sources said. Representatives from all four private schools didn’t return The Post’s requests for comment. The charges came more than a month after authorities arrested Nguyen in front of a crowd of students at the elite Saint Ann’s School in Brooklyn Heights, where he taught math to students whose parents pay upward of $60,000 a year in tuition. The pre-K-to-12 school boasts famous alumni such as Jean-Michel Basquiat, Jennifer Connelly, Lena Dunham and Maya Hawke. Nguyen was sprung loose as investigators with the Brooklyn District Attorney’s Office pulled together evidence from his devices – a probe that ultimately led to his charges. “We always expected this day to come,” Nguyen’s attorney, Frank Rothman told The Post on Thursday, saying he’d been in touch with prosecutors since Nguyen’s original arrest in June. Rothman in court called the accusations “quite disturbing.” But he successfully asked Judge Michael Pinto for a bail package lower than the $50,000 sought by prosecutors, arguing Nguyen surrendered and cooperated with the investigation. Nguyen, who was dressed in a white shirt, black jacket, blue pants and Adidas shoes, is due back in court Oct. 17. The criminal complaint will go to a grand jury for a potential indictment, sources said. This isn’t Nguyen’s first brush with the law, or mass attention. He was a contestant on “Jeopardy!” twice in 2014, winning one episode of the iconic game show. But while Nguyen put on an affable face as a winning quiz show contestant, authorities said he illegally used his day job – a home health aide to a 96-year-old and his 92-year-old wife – as personal piggy bank. Nyugen stole more than $300,000 from the couple, which he used to pay for ballet tickets, Broadway shows and Florida vacations, Manhattan prosecutors said. He eventually pleaded guilty in 2018 to three charges, including endangering the welfare of a disabled person, court records show. During Nyugen’s six-month jail term, he called into former Mayor Bill de Blasio’s weekly appearance on WNYC’s “The Brian Lehrer Show ” to gripe about conditions in Rikers Island, from ill-fitting “clown” shoes to overcrowding.
