    Celestine Sam, 35, substitute teacher at PS 17 Henry D. Woodworth, New York City Department of Education, Williamsburg, Brooklyn, New York, "accused of improperly touching students during a massage icebreaker"

    New York Daily News: Firing of fourth-grade teacher at Brooklyn PS 17 for touching 9-year-old's tuchus is upheld by Manhattan judge (Jan 25 2013)

    She touched a fourth-grader’s butt during an icebreaking routine — and it shattered her career. A Manhattan judge upheld the firing of substitute teacher Celestine Sam last week after she rubbed the back of a 9-year-old boy in front of the class and then had him return the favor. During the reciprocal rubdown at Brooklyn’s PS 17 in Feb. 2009, both the 35-year-old teacher and student touched each other’s tuchuses, according to court documents.
