Former “Jeopardy!” champ Winston Nguyen, a former teacher at a private school in Brooklyn, surrendered [1] to Brooklyn prosecutors on Thursday following a month-long investigation into child pornography charges.
The 37-year-old is accused of preying on six students from elite schools, including Saint Ann’s, Poly Prep Country Day School, Berkeley Carroll School, and Packer Collegiate Institute, through messages exchanged on Snapchat.
Authorities seized Nguyen’s phone and other devices during the investigation, revealing explicit images of minors.
Nguyen is facing charges related to using a child in a sexual performance and promoting a sexual performance by a child.
The New York Times [2] reported that Nguyen solicited sexually explicit images from five girls and one boy from different schools, posing as a teenager on social media to obtain the photos.
