QUEENS, NY (WABC News) — A Queens teacher is under arrest Wednesday, accused of sexually abusing a student.

Queens District Attorney Richard Brown says a 48-year-old teacher at a Springfield Gardens middle school, abused a 14-year-old boy in a classroom after school hours.

“The charges are very disturbing,” Brown said. “A classroom should always be a safe place for a child. If true, this teacher destroyed his student’s trust.”

The teacher, of the Hollis section of Queens, was employed as a teacher at Intermediate School. He was suspended during the pendency of the criminal case.

MSG Result: On June 23, 2009, after a two week trial, the teacher was acquitted of all criminal charges.

Lift Foxy’s Ear-Bling In Catfight

A $250,000 DIAMOND-encrusted earring was snatched from the lovely ear of rapper Foxy Brown when she was attacked inside a rest room at a swanky Manhattan club, cops said.

The raunchy R&B star was knocked around at Show Nightclub in Times Square early Sunday after an argument with a woman cops identified as Tanya Manderson got physical, police sources told the Daily News.

She slugged the 25-year-old Brooklyn-bred diva in the right ear about 12:45 a.m., then yanked off the gaudy earring, the sources said.

Manderson allegedly took the earring and Brown’s purse and ran out of the W. 41st St. club with security guards close behind, the sources said.

She disappeared into a subway station at 42nd St. and Sixth Ave. before hurling the purse onto the tracks and giving the guards the slip. The purse was recovered, but not the earring.

Someone at the club knew Manderson, and cops hauled her into the Midtown South Precinct about 4:30 p.m.

Manderson, 35, of Fort Greene, was charged with robbery, grand larceny and criminal possession of stolen property.

MSG Result: Tanya Manderson’s case dismissed by the grand jury.
