A SEXT-BOOK CASE
2nd ‘perv’ staffer at elite B’klyn Tech
A staffer at the elite Brooklyn Tech HS was caught sexting a teenage student, the second seamy scandal to hit the prestigious public school, The Post has learned.
School aide Robert Sutton Jr., 23, was found to have had inappropriate sexual communication with the girl, sending her a photo of his penis — as well as a video of himself masturbating inside a Brooklyn Tech building, according to the city schools’ Office of the Special Commissioner of Investigation.
“The fact that the video was taken in school is what is so troubling,” a Brooklyn Tech parent told The Post.
Sutton had initially met the girl while working at another school, the Academy for Software Engineering near Union Square, where he performed clerical duties and she was a student, authorities said.
The girl said Sutton asked her for her number in January, and after she gave it to him, he began bombarding her with text messages nearly every day, according to an SCI report.
Sutton transferred to Brooklyn Tech in March for unknown reasons — but that didn’t cool his cyber-seduction of the teen, investigators said.
He asked the girl to come to his house and sent her pictures of his penis and abs, SCI papers say.
The student “added that Sutton Jr. also sent her a video which depicted Sutton Jr. masturbating inside Brooklyn Technical School,” the report says.
Probers were alerted to Sutton’s be- havior in May by someone at the Academy for Software Engineering, officials said.
The unidentified girl, who also called and texted Sutton, turned over the video clip, photos and sexts to investigators.
Confronted with evidence, Sutton resigned from his job in the presence of a union representative and lawyers in August, SCI papers say.
The investigation paperwork does not suggest that any physical contact took place between Sutton and the student or that he faced criminal charges.
While a bastion of academic achievement, the Fort Greene high school is no stranger to scandalous student-teacher incidents.
Teacher Sean Shaynak copped to abusing seven Brooklyn Tech students, ages 14 to 18, and was sentenced to five years in prison last year. The scandal exploded after one of his victims showed her parents an explicit Snapchat photo Shaynak sent her, and they contacted the FBI.
The Brooklyn Tech parent said she was disturbed by both Shaynak and Sutton.
“We’ve been forced to deal with these topics around here in the last few years. It’s enough,” she said.
The city Department of Education late Sunday informed The Post that Sutton had been axed.
“This individual is no longer a DOE employee and he is not eligible to work in our schools,” said DOE spokesman Will Mantell.
