In March 2025, Winston Nguyen—a former mathematics teacher and two-time “Jeopardy!” champion—pled guilty in court to multiple sex crimes after manipulating and abusing teenagers for sexual purposes. The court sentenced him to seven years in prison and 10 years of post-release supervision. Although these criminal penalties acknowledge his misconduct, they cannot undo the profound harm he caused to the children he targeted.
If you or your child experienced abuse by Mr. Nguyen, his guilty plea and sentencing may serve as powerful evidence in Winston Nguyen sexual abuse lawsuits. The attorneys at Phillips Law Group have decades of experience helping survivors pursue justice and compensation. Working with one of our team members is a vital step toward holding Mr. Nguyen accountable and reclaiming your future.
The History of Allegations Against Winston Nguyen
Between October 2022 and May 2024, Winston Nguyen allegedly used multiple Snapchat accounts to solicit sexually explicit images and videos from at least six minors, ages 13 to 15, on at least 11 separate occasions. During that period, he worked as a teacher at Saint Ann’s School in Brooklyn Heights, New York. The school placed him on administrative leave in June 2024 after the allegations surfaced and terminated his employment in July, following the formal filing of charges by the District Attorney’s office.
In December 2024, an independent law firm hired by Saint Ann’s School found that school administrators acted negligently by failing to conduct adequate background checks before hiring Nguyen and by not responding appropriately to warning signs of his misconduct. Based on those findings, an attorney at Phillips Law Group may be able to name Saint Ann’s administrators as co-defendants in a sexual abuse lawsuit against Winston Nguyen.
What Damages Could Be Recoverable Through a Sexual Abuse Claim?
Survivors of sexual misconduct by Winston Nguyen may pursue compensation for both economic and non-economic harm through a civil lawsuit. Recoverable damages may include:
- Medical expenses related to the abuse, including psychological treatment
- Lost income and diminished future earning capacity
- Emotional trauma and psychological distress
- Reduced quality of life
In addition, a court may impose punitive damages against Mr. Nguyen or Saint Ann’s School administrators for egregious negligence or intentional misconduct. A sexual abuse attorney can explain these options in detail during a free, no-obligation consultation and help survivors take the next step toward justice.
