A Queens elementary school teacher’s assistant returned to court today on allegations of sexual misconduct involving several students.
Brett Picou, 30, walked out of Queens Criminal Court with his lawyer , avoiding questions about the charges .
Picou, of Far Rockaway, allegedly inappropriately rubbed his hands on six girls — ages 9 and 10 — on several occasions from November 2011 until this month. He was charged with seven counts of sexual abuse, seven counts of forcible touching and six counts of endangering the welfare of a child.
He was ordered to return to court on April 23. Prosecutors on the case have not offered a deal for the PS 52 teacher’s aide, who has been suspended without pay since his arrest last week.
“The charges in cases of this nature are disturbing on a number of different levels,” said DA Richard Brown, “The alleged actions of this defendant can never be tolerated.”
Picou, who is out on $12,500 bail, faces up to seven years in prison for each count of the top charge.
