Parents outraged over NYC assistant principal’s alleged double life as pimp: ‘Can’t trust people’
Parents at a Queens elementary school are expressing shock and outrage after learning that an assistant principal at their children’s school allegedly led a secret life as a high-end pimp.
Bond Ng, 47, who oversees school safety at PS 16 in Corona, allegedly arranged $2,000-an-hour “dates” with a woman based in Los Angeles as recently as December, according to federal prosecutors. Parents at the school said the allegations are deeply disturbing.
“This is very dangerous for the kids,” said Rosa Buri, whose 8-year-old son attends PS 16. “I’m angry about it. He should never be around kids, and he should never come back here.”
Another parent added, “We can’t trust people.”
Ng, who earns $173,000 annually as a school administrator, was charged with coercing interstate prostitution. Prosecutors allege he coordinated trysts in a Long Island City high-rise and other locations dating back to at least 2011, according to court documents.
Ng was questioned by authorities at JFK Airport after returning from Colombia on Friday. He reportedly told investigators that he was the suspected sex worker’s “manager.” However, federal prosecutors say text messages indicate that Ng was directly involved in arranging prostitution, including an alleged meeting on December 29 at a luxury tower at 2 Jackson Park in Long Island City.
For PS 16 parents, the contrast between Ng’s professional role and his alleged activities has been alarming.
“Are you kidding me?” said one father, who requested anonymity. “You hear crazy stuff in New York, but this is next level.”
Many parents said they were blindsided by the allegations, noting that Ng had seemed approachable and caring.
“This is so shocking,” said Ana Garcia, a mother. “I never thought he’d do something like this. I can’t believe there’s a part of him I didn’t know.”
Luz Wallace, whose 11-year-old son currently attends PS 16 and whose older son is an alum, said the revelations were unsettling. “You never really know about the other lives some people lead,” she said. “He seems very nice here, but we don’t know about his personal life.”
Ng was released on a $150,000 bond and fitted with a GPS monitor after his sister posted the cash. A woman at Ng’s home declined to comment when reached on Wednesday.
City schools officials have referred questions to federal prosecutors and did not respond to a request for comment.
A letter sent to parents, obtained by The Post, stated that Ng had been reassigned and banned from the school building while the investigation continues.
