NEW YORK (1010 WINS) -- Federal prosecutors in Wisconsin have charged a high-ranking New York City education official for allegedly using a computer to facilitate a child sex crime, authorities said.
At the time of his arrest Sunday, Hay, 39, lived in Brooklyn and served as deputy chief of staff for Richard Carranza, the schools chancellor at New York City's Department of Education.
The New York City Department of Education fired Hay following his arrest.
