A camp counselor was busted after he sexually abused a 10-year-old girl on a bus in Pleasant Plains, according to a Criminal Court complaint.
Endrick Torres, a counselor at Big Bird’s Playhouse in Willowbrook, was taking campers to a roller rink in New Jersey Tuesday afternoon, sources said.
But after two hours of sitting in traffic on the West Shore Expressway, the group decided to reroute to Bloomingdale Park instead.
Torres sat next to the 10-year-old victim and told her to “open your legs,” sources said.
When the girl asked why, Torres allegedly said, “It will feel good,” at which point he abused the child.
That’s when the victim turned to her best friend and mouthed the words, “Help me,” sources said.
After the incident, the girl told her mother what happened, and Torres was arrested and charged with sexual abuse, forcible touching and endangering the welfare of a minor, according to a spokesman for District Attorney Daniel Donovan.
