LOAD OF BULL
Double-job probe of Naomi’s beau
Bronx Assemblywoman Naomi Rivera’s schoolteacher boy toy is one busy guy.
After teaching all day at a Brooklyn elementary school, coaching youth sports teams and attending school functions, Tommy Torres still found time to put in several hours a day as a paid staffer at the pol’s Bronx district office, records obtained by The Post reveal.
Now Torres and his seemingly impossible dualborough workload are the subject of a city Department of Investigation probe.
It was launched by the Schools Special Commissioner of Investigation Richard Condon “after the matter was referred by the Department of Education,” said his spokeswoman, Sara Scicluna.
The investigation — the third this week into Rivera and her associates — comes on the heels of explosive claims, revealed in The Post, that the powerful, 49yearold Democrat used taxpayer dough to give jobs to Torres, 35, and a nowformer boyfriend, Vincent Pinela, 40.
Timesheets from Torres’ 2010 stint as a “community relations director” for Rivera show many of his hours at her district office were logged on days he also taught in Brooklyn.
He was already working as a $78,885ayear gym teacher att PS 157 — and pulling down anotherr $10,928 as head coach and athletic didirector of the Grand Street Campuspus — when Rivera hired him in 2010 for $1,100 a week in her Morris Park office.
Public records show he raked in $18,123 while working for Rivera, and many of hiss hours were logged on weekdays, when he presumably would have put in a full 6 ¹/₂ hours at PS 157.
It is unclear whether he had coaching or athleticdirector duties those days.ys.
Timesheets from his Rivera gig, which lasted from August through Decemberember 2010, show Torres often logged betweenn two and six hours in her office on school days.s.
Over 10 consecutive school daysys shortly afafter the academic year began in 2010,2010, he left Brooklyn to put in 40 hours at Rivera’svera’s Bronx district office, his timesheets show.w.
Sources said Condon’s office willill be combcombing through Torres’ schooltime recordsrecords and the Rivera timesheets looking forr an overlap.
Rivera, who began posting romanticmantic picpictures of Torres on her Facebook pagepage in 2009, previously told The Post she hireded the much younger man “because of his backgroundckground in education.”
“During those four months, he was actively
involved representing me in educational and at community events,” she said.
Before dating Torres, Rivera put another boyfriend, Pinela, on her payroll, making him the $75,000ayear head of her nonprofit Bronx Council for Economic Development in 2006, right after they started dating. He has admitted he had no prior experience or qualifications for the job.
Pinela said that while he worked at Rivera’s cronypacked BCED, Rivera routinely used the nonprofit as a personal piggy bank, charging romantic dinners and campaign expenses to the nonprofit and hiring family members to work for it.
On Monday, the state Attorney General’s Office and the Bronx district attorney said they are investigating Rivera. Torres could not be reached yesterday. Rivera yesterday said in a statement, “The allegations are untrue.”
