Boca Raton Teacher Gets Probation For Kissing 10-Year-Old Student On Lips

A Boca Raton fourth grade teacher is now facing one year of probation after video of the teacher kissing a student on the lips surfaced Tuesday.

Brian Kornbluth, 28, pleaded guilty to two battery charges after video of him kissing a 10-year-old boy on the lips in his Somerset Academy charter school classroom in February was released.  

Police say the boy's sister told authorities that she and her brother went to Kornbluth's classroom to get gummy bears when he kissed them both on the lips. Kornbluth admitted to kissing the boy, but not the girl, according to the arrest report. 

Somerset Academy says it immediately released the teacher from his position and contacted police when it discovered what happened.  

The video appears to be made from a stationary surveillance type camera inside the classroom, which seemed to be empty except for the teacher and the student.

He is no longer teaching at the school. But Kornbluth's attorney says he will still be allowed to teach while on probation.
