"A teacher and debate coach at the prestigious Bronx High School of Science was arrested on Friday on charges that he persuaded teenage boys to send him nude or suggestive photographs via cellphones in exchange for gift cards."

"'Pictures just have a huge impact on me,' [Jon] Cruz wrote, according to the complaint."

The boys Cruz allegedly lured were not boys at the Bronx High School of Science, where the students are all presumably super-smart, having gained admission through a competitive NYC test.

ADDED: As a commenter points out, Cruz allegedly "also admitted to soliciting photographs from a Bronx Science student in exchange for a gift," though the charges relate to 3 boys in New Mexico and upstate New York.
