BUFFALO, N.Y. — A former teacher is facing charges for an alleged incident involving a student back in 2018.

The Erie County District Attorney's office says Tony Gregory II, 42, of Buffalo was working as a teacher at Erie 1 BOCES in West Seneca when he allegedly forcibly touched the intimate parts of a student under the age of 18 at a location in the Town of West Seneca. 

Gregory, II is also accused of showing a naked picture of himself to the student during school. The incidents are alleged to have taken place on or about October and November of 2018.

The defendant is charged with two counts of forcible touching and three counts of endangering the welfare of a child.
