Staten Island, N.Y. Police are investigating a claim that a Tottenville High School teacher masturbated within view of at least one person during a virtual class Monday, according to a source with knowledge of the incident.

The alleged incident occurred during a time in class when students were instructed to work independently away from the virtual meeting space, while two teachers remained in case any students want to check back-in with questions, the source said.

A male colleague who remained in the class has told police he wasnt certain if any students witnessed the act, a source said.

This extremely disturbing alleged behavior has absolutely no place in our schools and was reported to the NYPD. The teacher was immediately reassigned away from students pending the outcome of an investigation, a Department of Education spokeswoman said.

No charges had been filed, and an investigation remains ongoing Wednesday, according to an NYPD spokeswoman.
