Yesterday's Arrest of 3 NYC Teachers
Yesterday, three New York City high school instructors were arrested on separate charges.
Queens teacher Monsur Khan, 33, is being accused of an online romantic relationship with an underage girl, who is not a current student of his. His charges include attempted aggravated sexual abuse, attempted rape, attempted disseminating indecent material to a minor and resisting arrest. It has not been determined if the girl attended the high school where he taught. Their online dalliances began last month. The Department of Education confirmed that Khan has been reassigned to another school.

He has been charged with resisting arrest, assault, obstructing governmental administration and disorderly conduct and harassment.
