Brooklyn teacher busted for allegedly raping 14-year-old stepdaughter

A substitute teacher was arrested late Wednesday for allegedly raping his stepdaughter on multiple occasions when she was only 14 — before he was hired by the Department of Education. 

Sergio Garcia, 26 — who most recently served as a subsitute at JHS 227 in Bensonhurst, according to a DOE source — was busted at 9:50 p.m. for repeatedly raping the young teen in his home between August and December of 2017 when he was 21, cops and police sources said.

Garcia was charged with two counts of rape, in addition to raps for sexual misconduct, acting in a manner injurious to a child under 17 and sexual abuse, police said. 

“These are extremely disturbing allegations of conduct from several years prior to this substitute’s employment, and we took immediate action as soon as they were reported,” the DOE said in a statement. “He is not eligible to work in our schools pending the outcome of the criminal investigation.”

Garcia was hired by the DOE as a substitute teacher in September of 2020.
