A pervy Brooklyn day care teacher allegedly molested four young girls in his care over an 18-month period, prosecutors said – and now cops are looking for any other potential victims.
Devonte Brown, 30, was busted after allegedly sexually abusing the kids – two 5-year-olds and a 6- and 9-year old – while they attended The Learning Factory in Bushwick on multiple occasions between April 1, 2024 and August 22, 2025, according to the Brooklyn District Attorney’s Office.
Prosecutors said Brown allegedly touched the girls’ intimate body parts with both hands over and under their clothing while inside the center – identified by News 12 as The Learning Factory on Evergreen Avenue
Devonte Brown, 30, allegedly sexually abused the children, from ages 5 to 9, on multiple occasions in 2024 and 2025. NYPDHe also allegedly sexually abused one of the young victims at Brooklyn Bridge Park’s Pier 6 in July 2025, the DA’s office said.
Brown intimidated at least one of the girls into silence by threatening her that a favorite teacher would be fired if she told an adult, prosecutors charged.
But the girls ultimately told their parents about the abuse in August and September 2025, and the adults reported it to law enforcement, the DA’s office said.
One parent, Beverley Brown, claimed to News 12 that her young daughter was abused by Brown last summer.
The girls ultimately told their parents about the abuse, sparking the investigation. Google Maps“I’ve seen behavior of my kid where she didn’t want to come here,” Barnard told the network.
“[My daughter] just ran to me and just held me and cried,” she added. “We were supposed to go to Chuck E. Cheese after that. I told her, ‘I’m taking [you] to the hospital’ and she was like, ‘Thank you, mommy. Thank you for taking me to the hospital.’”
The center’s former education director, Marcus Alston, told the outlet he quit his position when his concerns about Brown were not taken seriously.
“I left [The Learning Factory] because I voiced my opinions and concerns about Mr. Brown, and they fell on deaf ears,” Alston said.
The facility’s phone was out of service when The Post called Thursday.
News 12 reported that notices posted on the front door indicated it was “temporarily closed” due to a Health Department mandate.
Brown was arraigned Wednesday on an indictment charging him with course of sexual conduct against a child, sexual abuse, forcible touching and endangering the welfare of a child, the DA’s office said.
Brooklyn Supreme Court Justice Donald Leo ordered him held on $150,000 cash bail, $300,000 insurance bond or $500,000 partially secured bond.
He is set to return to court on March 27.
