BROOKLYN, NY —A Brooklyn teacher was arrested Wednesday night and charged after he allegedly inappropriately touched a 12-year-old student, according to police.
Emil Agaronov, 41, was arrested at 8:45 p.m. Wednesday within the 84th Precinct, covering Brooklyn Heights, Boerum Hill and Vinegar Hill, and charged with endangering the welfare of a child and harassment, according to police.
The alleged incident occurred July 28.
Agaronov touched the student's body without her consent, the report alleges.
