Concerning claims, it is revealed that a public high school professor in Queens created a creepy “escape place” that he allegedly used to sexually assault a sexual undergraduate.
According to researchers, Scott Biski, a music teacher at Jamaica Gateway to the Sciences High School, encouraged the child to have sexual relations with him at his home, which he called” the wicket cave,” while his wife and two children were away.
According to the Exclusive Commissioner of Investigation for city institutions, Biski, 50, started “grooming” the scholar when she was 14 years old, a junior, and it ended when she was a freshman in” a physical relationship”.
” I now understand that these weird hugs, embraces were actually just groping”, the ex-student, now 25-year-old, told investigators.
” He was touching me without my consent for sexual pleasure.”
Biski set up “old desks and makeshift dividers” in his office and music classroom, allowing students to hang out in his “escape room”. The allegations also stated that Biski attempted to kiss the student there after touching her breasts, but the girl pulled away and “promptly” left.
At his home, he would also request that the girl play board games with other children. She once showed up, only to discover that she was the only student there, according to the report. Biski allegedly lavished the girl with expensive presents, including his favorite childhood book, a flute that was only meant to be loaned to students, new clothes, and money, including$ 200 for Ugg boots.
He texted the teenager around 700 times, including 82 times when they were in school, according to the SCI. The girl made it known to the police that Biski had advised her to store his phone number under the false name” Arthur Dent” to prevent suspicion.
A different student informed SCI that he believed the alias was that of” Harvey Dent,” a Batman villain whose alter ego was” Two-Face.”
In his school office, Biski kissed and groped the student while telling her,” That’s how you make me feel,” according to court records and the SCI investigation.
In addition to giving the girl coveted solos and “outstanding” college reference letters, Biski assigned her to play lead flute in the school band, according to the student. She claimed that he engaged in these activities as part of his grooming routine.
She informed the police that, after graduating, Biski would allegedly “peer” her into having sex at his home while his wife and two children were away. The twisted texts kepts also continued.
” No Halloween celebration”?, She was in her first year of college when he texted her,” No slut outfit”?
” No’ I’m little red riding hood the whore.'”
In another instance he texted,” I have risked everything for you. My job. My home. My kids. Everything”.
The student informed detectives that she viewed Biski as a “father figure” and was “disgusted” by his actions.
The student, however, claimed that the sexual encounter was consensual and that it occurred after she turned 17; therefore, the NYPD closed a criminal case against Biski.
The SCI accused the teacher of engaging in “egregious, manipulative, and predatory” behavior. After the student came forward in June 2022, Biski was fired by the city’s Department of Education, but according to documents, he continued to receive$ 99,578 in fiscal year 2024 while employed by the city until the previous year.
Biski has “irrevocably resigned,” according to a DOE spokesperson. SCI also urged DOE to change school policies regarding teachers texting students using private phone numbers.
The SCI has advised DOE to avert students from communicating with them via social media and cell phones. It has discovered at least 89 instances of DOE staff members having inappropriate online and text conversations with students over the past five years.
The 25-year-old former pupil sued Biski last year, accusing him of sexual assault and harassment. In June, Biski brought legal action against the DOE.
