A Queens assistant principal is at the center of a federal prostitution case after authorities say he arranged paid sexual encounters between an adult film performer and clients in New York. Court papers identify the defendant as 47-year-old Bond Ng, an assistant principal at P.S. 16 in Corona, Queens. Federal officials allege he coordinated hotel and apartment stays in Long Island City and took payments through a Zelle account.
According to New York Daily News, federal prosecutors say Homeland Security officers conducting a second inspection at JFK Airport on February 20 recovered two cellphones that now sit at the heart of the case. Investigators say those phones held text messages between Ng, the performer and clients. The complaint alleges Ng sometimes posed as the performer in messages, sent out lists of clients, promised specific dates and sexual activities, and set prices that reached up to $2,000 an hour, with an additional $500 for anal sex or sex without a condom.
How prosecutors say he operated
A criminal complaint filed by federal prosecutors lays out text threads and other records that they argue show Ng urging the Los Angeles-based performer to come to New York for paid encounters in late December. The filing cites messages from December 27, 2025, and says Ng bought the performer a winter coat ahead of a trip planned for the last week of December. Investigators contend he arranged for her to stay at hotels and at his Long Island City apartment while he coordinated meetings with paying clients.
School and community questions
Ng’s job at P.S. 16 drops this case directly into a neighborhood school community that now has to process a high-profile federal arrest involving a top staffer. Parents and educators in Corona are likely to press for clarity on what the allegations mean for school safety and oversight, and how quickly city officials move on any employment decisions. When a school administrator is named in a federal criminal complaint, it often sparks scrutiny far beyond the courtroom.
Legal snapshot
Federal officials say Ng was arrested on Sunday, then released on a $150,000 bond. He is charged with “enticing a person to travel in interstate commerce to engage in prostitution,” a federal offense that will be handled in federal court. Homeland Security investigators were involved in the JFK phone inspection that produced key evidence, as reported by New York Daily News. The case remains in its early stages and the allegations have not yet been tested at trial.
