The education world is in shock after the arrest of Bond Ng, an assistant principal from New York City. Yes, you read that right. A school administrator allegedly had a second job, but this was not a tutoring gig, it was something far more complicated.
Authorities say Ng was living a double life. During the day, he worked in education, at night, he allegedly ran a side hustle that shocked many people. Reports claim he posed as a pimp and connected clients with sexual services.
The alleged service was said to involve a woman based in Los Angeles. The price tag? A very bold $2k per hour. That is not pocket change, that is “I need to sit down and think about my life choices” money.
The assistant principal, who had made around $173,000 a year, posed as the woman in flirty texts sent to potential clients, according to text messages obtained by federal human trafficking investigators.
“My rate is 2k love,” Ng texted one john, court papers showed.
Ng also told a client to deposit money in a Zelle account bearing his name, a complaint alleged.
The accused principal-turned-pimp was released on a $150,000 bond after appearing in Brooklyn federal court Tuesday — where prosecutors alleged that he “groomed” the woman, who had been “inexperienced at prostitution” before they met.
Ng was “more coercive than we originally thought,” Assistant US Attorney Daniel Amzallag told the court, as Ng sat at the defense table wearing an unassuming argyle sweater over a white button-down shirt.
Prosecutors believe that Ng was part of a larger prostitution scheme, Amzallag added, citing Ng’s extensive travel in recent years to Medellin and Cartagena, Colombia — known sex trafficking hotbeds.
That is one wild side hustle a school principal could ever think of getting into.
The government also has evidence that Ng had conversations with three different women who worked at unidentified massage parlors, the prosecutor said.
The alleged sexual encounters had been happening as recently as Dec. 29, 2025, when Ng told a john to ask for a woman in “apartment 9C” at 2 Jackson Park, a posh glass tower apartment complex in Long Island City with views of the Manhattan skyline, the complaint alleged.
“Thank you for letting me use your apartment,” the woman texted Ng the next day, court papers showed.
This story feels like a crime drama with school bells ringing in the background.
For now, the legal process will continue, and the internet will keep making jokes, because sometimes real life reads like a strange, unbelievable movie script.
