Parents outraged over NYC assistant principal’s alleged double life as pimp: ‘Can’t trust people’
Parents at a Queens elementary school said they were shocked and outraged after learning that an assistant principal at their kids’ school was allegedly moonlighting as a high-end pimp.
Bond Ng, 47, an administrator in charge of school safety at PS 16 in Corona, allegedly arranged $2,000-an-hour “dates” with a Los Angeles-based woman as recently as late December, federal prosecutors said Sunday — and schoolhouse parents are livid.
“This is very dangerous for the kids,” said Rosa Buri, whose 8-year-old son is a student at the school. “I’m angry about it. He should never be around kids and he should never come back here.”
Said another parent, “We can’t trust people.”
Ng, a $173,000-a-year school administrator, was charged with coercing interstate prostitution for allegedly setting up the trysts inside a ritzy Long Island City high-rise and elsewhere since at least 2011, the US Attorney’s Office said in court on Tuesday.
He was questioned after getting of a plane from Colombia at JFK airport on Friday and allegedly told authorities that he was the suspected sex worker’s “manager.”
But the feds said text messages revealed that Ng was prostituting the woman, with one alleged tryst on Dec. 29 at a posh glass tower at 2 Jackson Park, according to a criminal complaint.
For parents at PS 16, the alleged Jekyll and Hyde lifestyle was too much to bear.
“Are you f–king kidding me?” said one dad who asked to remain anonymous. “Damn. You hear crazy stuff like that all the time in New York.”
Other parents said they were blindsided — Ng seemed like a friendly and caring educator.
“This is so shocking,” mom Ana Garcia told The Post. “I never thought he’d do something like that. I never thought about that. I can’t believe it. There’s a part of him I did not know because he doesn’t look like he’d do all those things.”
Luz Wallace, who has an 11-year-old son at the school and whose college-aged older son is an alum, was left unnerved by the news.
“We don’t know about the other lives that some people live,” she said. “He’s very nice, looking at him from here. But we don’t know about his family life.”
Ng was released on a $150,000 bond and fitted with a GPS monitor, with his sister posting the cash.
A woman answering the door at Ng’s home on Wednesday said he wasn’t home and refused to comment.
City schools officials have referred questions to federal prosecutors and did not immediately respond to a new request for comment from The Post on Wednesday.
A letter to parents obtained by The Post said he had “reassigned” and banned from the building pending the outcome of the investigation.
