It seems pretty obvious to us that there are certain professions where one shouldn't under any circumstance try to casually watch or share porn, like say, pediatricians, or school workers. This is what .XXX is for! And yet, it seems like some people just can't help themselves.
Bronx school aide Isaac Bowens was arrested for allegedly showing two female students pornographic images inside M.S. 219 in Morrisania. Bowens, who also coaches the boys basketball team, showed the girls either pornographic photos or videos—NY1 says that they were "lewd photos of himself"—and one of the girls complained. NY1 also implies that this sort of behavior may have occurred more than once.
Bowens has been suspended without pay by the DOE, and cops charged him with harassment, disseminating indecent material to a minor and endangering the welfare of a minor. This arrest comes on the heel of a recent boom in underage sex scandals, including a 20-year-old SI woman who was arrested for allegedly having sex with a 13-year-old, two Paramus chaperones were arrested for "inappropriate sexual contact" with female students, and a NJ woman was arrested for carrying on a sexual relationship with two 15-year-olds. Just take a cue from Mark Sancehz's playbook and just avoid anyone under the age of 17 completely from here on out.
