   He’s the Jeffrey Toobin of Big Apple schools.   
      
   Robert Torres, a teacher at Tottenville High School in Staten Island,   
   masturbated while on camera in a  Google Meet, shocking a fellow educator   
   who witnessed it, the city’s Special Commissioner of Investigation found.   
      
   A video showed Torres, 48, “with his pants down, conducting masturbatory   
   activity,” according to a just-released report by the city schools   
   investigator.   
      
   The disturbing behavior, which the report says occurred on Nov. 3, 2020,   
   was one of the most bizarre incidents to occur during the COVID-19   
   pandemic, when schools were closed and instruction took place online.   
      
   Torres was remotely co-teaching a class with about 15 students.   
      
   After the teens were dismissed, the two teachers were required to stay   
   online for another 30 minutes in case any students logged back on with   
   questions.   
      
   One teacher then noticed Torres “had his pants down and appeared to be   
   masturbating,” the SCI report says.   
      
   The fellow teacher was “shocked,” and “instinctively recorded the incident   
   on his cellphone,” it says.   
      
   The video was given to police, but the NYPD closed the case after   
   determining that no students witnessed the act, the SCI says. No criminal   
   charges were filed.   
      
   Torres, whose last salary was $128,451, refused to be interviewed by the   
   SCI, and “offered no rebuttal to the allegation,” the report says.   
      
   He did not return a request for comment to his city Department of   
   Education email address.   
      
   “Behavior such as this is outrageous and totally unacceptable,” said DOE   
   spokeswoman Jenna Lyle.   
      
   Torres “was disciplined based on a determination by an impartial   
   arbitrator,” Lyle said. She would not specify the discipline, which can   
   include a letter in the file, fine or suspension.   
      
   Torres is currently listed on a DOE website as a teacher and dean at Port   
   Richmond HS.   
      
   Toobin, a CNN legal analyst and New Yorker writer, was famously seen   
   masturbating during a Zoom call with colleagues in October 2020.   
      
   The New Yorker fired him, but CNN gave him a leave of absence and brought   
   him back on the air last March.   
      
   “It was a disaster — and something I will regret for the rest of my life,”   
   Toobin told Mediaite in 2023. “I have no excuses. I have only apologies.”

   I thought teachers didn't make very much? The unions and the media have   
   everyone convinced the police and teachers are making nothing. It's all a   
   huge scam, milking the taxpayers. Very few folks in the real world make   
   that kind of money. And save me the high cost of living in NYC excuse.   
   It's like this all over the country.
