SYRACUSE, NY — Parents of students at All Saints Elementary School were told late Monday that their students may have been victims of “criminal activity” allegedly committed by an employee recently charged in a child pornography case.
The letter, which was obtained by Syracuse.com, said the FBI told staff Monday morning that “there may be additional victims of Miss (Emily) Oberst’s criminal activity, including students at All Saints” and that some parents may be contacted by the FBI. Oberst was also fired “effective immediately,” the letter said.
Oberst was charged over the weekend for allegedly allowing a 40-year-old man to sexually exploit a 16-month-old child. It was later learned she worked at the elementary school and began volunteering there beginning at age 15. Her mother is also a teacher at the school, according to the school’s website.
School officials declined to comment despite repeated requests Monday, and the letter was the first contact parents had after news of Oberst’s arrest became public on Saturday.
The letter said officials could not confirm the identities or the number of students who may be involved.
The full text of the letter is below.
