A posh Manhattan preschool’s internal investigation cleared a Denmark intern of sexually abusing several students before cops arrested him, court papers show.
International Preschool on East 45th Street sent a letter informing parents that they couldn’t corroborate any of the vile claims against Malthe Thomsen, 22.
“The investigation uncovered no evidence to substantiate the allegations made by the assistant teacher,” states the email sent to parents and staff about two weeks ago.
“The head teachers, and other educators who spent significant time with the class, all said they had not observed any inappropriate behavior on the part of the intern and were highly complimentary of his work with the children.”
The letter came to light Tuesday at a bail hearing in Manhattan court for the accused teacher who has been locked up since his arrest June 27th.
Thomsen was indicted on 15 counts of sex abuse for allegedly forcing Manhattan preschoolers to grope his genitals from May 27 to June 4.
The only complainant in the case was the assistant teacher who was fired, according to defense lawyer David Fisher.
Prosecutors argued that Thomsen confessed during an interrogation and the school’s investigation was inadequate. Thomsen only copped to the crime because cops falsely implied he’d be able to return to Denmark, his lawyer said.
Justice Juan Merchan set bail at $400,000 Tuesday. He’s expected to be released from corrections as early as Wednesday.
