Florida elementary school teacher Brian Kornbluth was caught on surveillance camera doing the unthinkable: kissing a 10-year-old male student on the lips in an empty classroom. The 28-year-old Somerset Academy charter school teacher was busted on camera and arrested back in February for his disturbing actions, but he just had his day in court on May 16.
As the Daily Mail reported, his victim claimed that Brian Kornbluth had been using his classroom to trade kisses for candy, namely gummy bears, before getting caught on camera and reported to police. The Florida teacher's predatory behavior was first brought to light when a co-worker became suspicious. Reportedly, Kornbluth had requested that certain male students be assigned to his classroom, and his "particular interest in some students" had raised concern.
As a result of the concerned teacher's report, administration reviewed the surveillance tapes that had recorded the goings on in Brian Kornbluth's classroom. What they found left them shocked and concerned, and prompted a call to Boca Raton, Florida police. The school's surveillance camera had captured Kornbluth embracing a 10-year-old male student and kissing the little boy on the mouth. Ultimately, the Florida teacher was arrested for the interaction after police spoke to the victim and his sister, who claimed that Brian Kornbluth had kissed her on the mouth as well - and all in exchange for gummy bears.
Kornbluth denied kissing the little girl, but admitted to kissing her 10-year-old brother on the lips. A short clip of the incident was recently released to the media.
