Jeopardy champ arrested

Winston Nguyen, a former 'Jeopardy!' champion and math teacher at the elite Saint Ann's School in Brooklyn, has been arrested on multiple charges related to soliciting sexually explicit images from minors. Over a period from October 2022 to May 2024, he allegedly used social media to pose as a teenager, attempting to coerce at least six students aged 13 to 15 into sending him nude images and videos. Nguyen's arrest follows a month-long investigation after he was charged with using a child in a sexual performance and promoting a sexual performance by a child, among other felonies. He has a prior criminal history, having previously served time for stealing over $300,000 from an elderly couple. Following his arrest, he was placed on administrative leave and subsequently fired from his teaching position. Nguyen's case has raised concerns about safety in schools, particularly regarding hiring practices of individuals with criminal backgrounds.
