4h agoA Yonkers high school teacher is facing charges after he was
accused of sexually assaulting a student.
Police say 49-year-old James Korwatch, a carpentry teacher
at Saunders Trades and Technical High School, started an inappropriate relationship
with a 17-year-old in 2021.
Korwatch, who lives in Ossining, has been charged with
criminal sexual act.
Yonkers police say he was physically and sexually violent
with the teen and used verbal and physical intimidation and coercion.
Local residents say the news is putting people on alert.
Paul Green, a Yonkers junior says, “I saw it on Instagram. I
can't believe that would happen. I go to a different Yonkers school."
A statement from the district says in part, “Korwatch has
been removed from his teaching responsibilities."
