NEW YORK – A Brooklyn man was convicted of sexually abusing five students in 2007, 2010 and 2011.  Jeffrey Kaye, 50, was convicted on charges of course of sexual conduct against a child in the second degree, four counts of sexual abuse in the first degree and sexual abuse in the third degree.  He faces up to 28 years in prison when he is sentenced on March 1 before Brooklyn Supreme Court Justice Michael Gary.

On several occasions, in 2007 and between April 2010 and April 2011, Kaye, a teacher at a test preparatory school in Sunset Park, sexually abused four of his students in the school’s bathroom.  The victims ranged in ages from eight to 12-years-old.  He was also charged with sexually abusing a 17-year-old student who he was tutoring privately.

One of the victims told his parents about Kaye’s actions, who then alerted police.  An investigation was conducted, which led to information regarding the other victims.
