‘Creepy’ NYC teacher Gabriel Mitey, who worked at new school under a different name, firedBy Susan Edelman

The city Department of Education has yanked a special-ed teacher from a Manhattan school after parents and students learned he had a history of inappropriate texting, flirting with teens, and posting a near-naked selfie — under a different name.
Gabriel Mitey, 28, came “highly recommended” to the 6-12 Professional Performing Arts School in Midtown while assuming the name “Gabriel Torres.”
The DOE ousted Mitey on Monday after The Post published a front-page story on the subterfuge.
“As of today, Oct. 31, Mr. Torres is no longer on the PPAS staff, and he will not return to PPAS, nor to any DOE school,” Principal Kevin Ryan said in a note to families, citing “a sizable amount of concern” about the teacher.
The news brought relief to parents.
