Elementary School Principal Charged with Sexually Abusing 9 Children in Upstate New York [View all]

An elementary school principal in the Hilton school district is accused of sexually abusing nine victims, all of them students.

Kirk Ashton faces six counts of first-degree sexual abuse and five counts of second-degree course of sexual conduct, each felonies, and nine counts of endangering the welfare of a child, a misdemeanor.

Prosecutors say the victims, all boys, were between the ages of 9 and 12. The abuse could go back decades, they said.

The principal at Northwood Elementary School, 433 N. Greece Road, was arraigned in Greece Town Court Wednesday night. Greece Town Justice Vincent Campbell set bail at $500,000 cash or $1 million bond. Ashton's preliminary hearing is set for 3 p.m. April 20.
