Bronx teacher perv bust

Molested 4 kids: DA

A former Bronx charterschool orchestra conductor sexually abused four students for years — including at least one girl who was just 12 when the molestation started, prosecutors say.

Jesus Concepcion, 48, was known as “Mr. C” at KIPP Academy Middle School, where the music teacher and orchestra instructor preyed on the girls from 2002 through 2007 by luring them into his car, at motels and in the school’s music room, according to the Manhattan US Attorney’s Office.

After singling his victims out with “personal attention,” Concepcion plied the students with money, clothing, jewelry and other gifts while telling several of them that they were in a romantic relationship, federal prosecutors allege.

He was arrested on Saturday — four years after accusations against him at the school first surfaced and were reported to authorities, officials said.

He is accused of also taking his victims from KIPP Academy or other locations in The Bronx to motels in New Jersey, where he typically told them to stay in his car as he got a room, authorities said.

In at least one instance, he then had sex with a female student in a motel against her will, prosecutors said.

Concepcion is accused of continuing to sexually abuse two of his victims after they went to high school. Prosecutors said he visited them in early 2003 or 2004 while they were freshmen at an out-ofstate high school and had sex with them in his car.

Concepcion, who taught at KIPP Academy from 2000 through 2007, was terminated for “misconduct with a student,” school officials told parents in a statement Monday.

“We are deeply saddened that former students experienced abuse while attending a KIPP NYC school,” the statement read.

“We are hopeful that with today’s arrest justice will finally be served.”

Concepcion was arrested in Charlotte, NC. He’s facing four counts each of enticing a minor to engage in illegal sexual activity and transporting a minor to engage in illegal sexual activity. He faces life in prison.
