QUEENS, NY — A Department of Education employee stands accused of sexually abusing several students at a Queens school, according to police and a report.
Vamshi Guduru, 36, was arrested around 6 a.m. on March 13 at the 107th Precinct in northern Queens, police announced this week.
NYPD’s Queens Adult Sex Crimes Squad charged him with four counts of forcible touching, five counts of endangering the welfare of a child and five counts of sexual abuse, according to law enforcement.
Guduru worked as a teacher at John Bowne High School in Kew Gardens Hills, site of the alleged assaults, according to the New York Daily News.
The incidents reportedly began Monday, when authorities say Guduru groped several girls without consent, squeezing the breasts of two, the buttocks of two others, one girl’s lower back and placing his hand over another girl’s hand.
The victims—all girls aged 15 to 17—reported the groping to officials, telling police it occurred during school hours in the second week of March 2026.
Guduru was arrested at his home, arraigned before Judge Sharifa Nasser-Cuellar and released on supervised release, court records show.
Orders of protection are now in place for all six victims, according to a New York Post report.
Court records show Guduru is due back in court on May 4.
The NYPD is asking any other victims to come forward by calling the NYPD’s Sex Crimes Hotline at 1-212-267-RAPE (7273) or 1-646-610-7272, the Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477) or for Spanish, 1-888-57-PISTA (74782).
