    KINGS COUNTY DISTRICT ATTORNEY CHARLES J. HYNES ANNOUNCES CONVICTION OF PRINICPAL OF PRIVATE JEWISH HIGH SCHOOL FOR SEXUAL ABUSE OF THREE BOYS OVER THE COURSE OF TEN YEARS
    
Kings County District Attorney Charles J. Hynes today announced the conviction of Emanuel Yegutkin, 33, for sexually abusing three young boys over the course of 10 years.  Yegutkin was convicted before Brooklyn Supreme Court Justice Dineen Riviezzo on 75 counts of charges including three counts of Course of Sexual Conduct Against a Child in the First Degree, two counts of Course of Sexual Conduct Against a Child in the Second Degree, and multiple counts of Criminal Sexual Act in the Second Degree, Sexual Abuse in the Second Degree, Sexual Abuse in the Third Degree, and Endangering the Welfare of a Child.  The top charge, Course of Sexual Conduct Against a Child in the First Degree carries a maximum sentence of 25 years.  Yegutkin will be back in court on December 17 to announce a sentencing date.
    
    District Attorney Hynes said, “This violent sexual predator faces the remainder of his life behind bars.  This should serve as a clear message that those who would sexually abuse children in this county will be punished severely.”
    
    Yegutkin was a principal of a private Jewish high school in Brooklyn.  He became a close  friend of the victims’ family after attending the school where the victims’ father worked, and visited their home frequently.  The victims did not attend Yegutkin’s school.  From 1996 to 2005, Yegutkin sexually abused two of the boys when they were ages seven to 15-years-old, and in 2008, exposed the third boy to pornography.  He forced them to perform sex acts including fondling and oral sex.  Yegutkin was arrested in January 2009.
    
    At trial, the three victims testified against Yegutkin.  The trial began on October 18th.  The jury, consisting of seven men and five women, were in deliberations since November 29.  They came back with a guilty verdict today, finding Yegutkin guilty on all 75 counts.
    
    The case was prosecuted by Rachel Schmidt, First Deputy Bureau Chief of the Sex Crimes Bureau and Lauren Traum, Senior Trial Attorney of the Sex Crimes Bureau.  Rhonnie Jaus is Chief of the Sex Crimes Bureau.

Yegutkin was principal of Elite High School, which primarily served Russian Jewish immigrants, and also was an Oorah BoysZone camp counselor and a member of Flatbush Hatzolah. Yegutkin allegedly was at one time a patient of Ohel's treatment program for pedophiles.
