Former “Jeopardy!” champ Winston Nguyen — an ex-con teacher at a posh Brooklyn private school — was arrested on child porn charges Thursday, prosecutors said.
Nguyen, 37, surrendered to Brooklyn prosecutors Thursday morning after a month-long probe into accusations involving explicit photos and minors, authorities said.
He was expected to be arraigned in Brooklyn Criminal Court that afternoon on charges of using a child in a sexual performance and promoting a sexual performance by a child, among other counts.
Sources previously told The Post that Nguyen, whose phone and other devices were seized in the X-rated photo probe, had images of several minors.
The New York Times first reported that Nguyen solicited sexually explicit images from five girls and one boy from four different schools.
He pretended to be a teenager on social media at least 11 times while trying to get students to send him photos, according to The Times.
The criminal complaint will go to a grand jury for a potential indictment, sources said.
The charges came more than a month after authorities dramatically arrested Nguyen in front a crowd of students at the elite Saint Ann’s School in Brooklyn Heights, where he taught math to students whose parents pay upward of $60,000 a year in tuition.
He was sprung loose days later as investigators with the Brooklyn District Attorney’s Office hauled together evidence from his devices.
His arrest Thursday wasn’t his first brush with the law.
Nguyen was busted in 2017 for stealing $300,000 from an elderly a couple — a crime that unfolded a few years after he appeared twice on “Jeopardy!” and won one episode.
