An East New York elementary school teacher was arrested Wednesday on sexual abuse and child endangerment charges.

Police say 57-year-old Shedrick Bell fondled a 10-year-old student inside a closet at PS 158 in March. A special schools investigator says this isn?t the first time Bell has been accused of inappropriate behavior. The investigator says three other female students claim Bell invited them to play the ?trust game? with him.

The Department of Education says it is seeking to fire Bell. If convicted, Bell faces up to a year behind bars.
