Teacher Sexually Abused Students at Long Island Music School: Police

A music teacher was arrested Thursday on Long Island for allegedly sexually abusing two female students during private lessons, police say.

Authorities say Kenton Burt, 62, abused the girls, between the ages of 9 and 14, at the Burt Music School located on Newbridge Road in Hicksville.

The alleged abuse happened between January 2012 and March 2015.

Burt, who is from Kent, Connecticut, was arrested at the music school. He is charged with two counts of first-degree sexual abuse.

It was not immediately clear if he had an attorney.

Anyone else who feels they may have been a victim is asked to call the Nassau County Police Department at 516-573-4022.
