Ex-baseball coach at a ritzy NYC private school accused of sexually abusing 7 children — including one under 13

A former baseball coach at a ritzy Brooklyn private school was accused Thursday of sexually abusing seven children, including one under 13, police said.

Nicolas Morton, 31, who had worked at the $60,000-a-year Packer Collegiate Institute, was arrested and arraigned in Brooklyn Supreme Court Thursday on a slew of sex crime charges.

The charges range from sex abuse to sexual conduct with a child under 13 years old to forcibly touching kids’ intimate parts, police said.

A source familiar with the situation said Morton allegedly had asked boy baseball players to pull their pants down in front of him.

He worked as a varsity baseball coach at the tony K-12 private school in Brooklyn Heights, and in its admissions office, until August, when administrators emailed parents that he’d been fired, The Post previously reported.

The bombshell email stated the school had received reports that Morton engaged in a pattern of inappropriate conversations and interactions with both Packer and non-Packer athletes affiliated with its private travel baseball team.

Morton is also a Packer alumnus and had been a star baseball player for the school’s team, where he was an Under Armour Pre-Season All-American and named to MSG Varsity’s Top 10 list of the best baseball player, according to the now-deleted website for his own private baseball traveling team, NYC Freedom Baseball.

The site stated he attended Trinity University in San Antonio, Texas, and Washington & Jefferson College in Pittsburgh, where he played baseball.
