Former Packer Baseball Coach Allegedly Sexually Abused Players
After attending Packer Collegiate Institute as a student, Nick Morton started working at the Brooklyn prep school in 2019.
The 31-year-old teacher coached Packer’s baseball team and an additional travel squad. However, he allegedly used his position of authority to sexually harass and abuse the players on his team.
Several children who were on Morton’s team claim he:
- Made sexually inappropriate comments to them
- Offered rewards to children who showed him their genitals
- Touched them inappropriately on multiple occasions
- Wouldn’t allow students to stop running unless they exposed themselves to him
In August 2024, Morton was fired from Packer after parents of the children reported their concerns to the school. Now, legal action is being taken to seek justice for those who claim they were affected by his misconduct.
