Nadal admitted that he had physical contact with the student victim. He waived sealing<br />
of the case and was sentenced to a Conditional Discharge. On January 31, <strong>2002</strong>, Nadal<br />
resigned pursuant to a Stipulation of Settlement agreement and is barred from future<br />
employment with the BOE.<br />
Johnny Vargas<br />
In June 2001, investigators from this office arrested 25-year-old Spanish teacher<br />
Johnny Vargas after an investigation substantiated that Vargas, who was assigned to John<br />
Bowne High School in Queens, kissed a 16-year-old female student and acted in an<br />
inappropriate manner toward several other female students. The teacher was charged<br />
with Forcible Touching, Endangering the Welfare of a Child, Sexual Abuse in the 3 rd<br />
Degree, and Harassment in the 2 nd Degree. In April <strong>2002</strong>, Vargas pleaded guilty to<br />
Harassment and was sentenced to a Conditional Discharge with an order of protection<br />
issued on behalf of his victim.<br />
We recommended that Vargas, who was suspended without pay from his position<br />
and placed on the BOE’s ineligible list on June 27, 2001, continue to be barred from<br />
employment with the BOE and that this matter be considered should he apply for any<br />
position with the school system in the future.<br />
