It's being reported by Newschannel 13 that on Wednesday, a longtime teacher in the Ballston Spa Central School District was charged with sexual abuse against four kids.

An order of protection will prevent him from having any contact with the alleged victims.

The man arrested was Crim Trerise, 56, of Middle Grove and he's currently sitting in Saratoga County jail after the alleged incidents between 2015 and 2017.

Crim Trerise of Middle Grove was arrested and charged with alleged sexual abuse of 4 kids. Trerise is employed by the Ballston Spa School District

According to the report from the news station, three of the kids were younger than 13, and one was younger than 14.

Officials have yet to confirm that Trerise is an employee of the school, but according to News Channel 13, a man with that exact name works in the math department at Ballston Spa High School and is listed in their directory.

On Wednesday, Ken Slentz, superintendent of BSCSD issued this statement on the school's website and shared it on the school's Facebook page.
