Daily News | Philly private school teacher sentenced to 39 years for catfishing students, sharing their explicit photos
By day, Andrew Wolf enjoyed a reputation as one of the most popular teachers at the elite Springside Chestnut Hill Academy — a coach to players on the middle school baseball team, a decorated educator, and a mentor to the dozens of boys who passed through his 8th grade classroom each year.
The emotional scene starkly demonstrated the devastation Wolf had wreaked on just one life during his 18 years teaching at the school. But prosecutors said that damage had been multiplied many times over by the breadth — and the callousness — of his crimes. Wolf shared photos of what he described as third and fourth graders at the school, appending a message to the group: “Worth raping.”
Strange, a college student, bragged about his ability to trick younger boys with online social media profiles he had created posing as a teenage girl named Alex. Within weeks, Wolf had compiled a spreadsheet with the names and social media handles of 78 of his current, former and future students at Chestnut Hill.
When students who’d previously sent photos to their fake accounts began to grow suspicious or reticent, Wolf encouraged Strange to extort them by threatening to leak the images if they didn’t continue to send more. But even before the shutdowns, prosecutors said, Wolf’s behavior showed dangerous signs of escalating.
In court Thursday, prosecutors said that had the school not shut down due to the pandemic weeks later, something far more serious might have occurred.
