A Queens music teacher has been arrested and charged with sexually abusing children, and participating in a child sex trafficking ring.
Oliver Sohngen, 52, was arrested Tuesday.
Sohngen is originally from Germany and is the founder and director of the Long Island City Academy of Music.
Investigators say Sohngen sexually abused a number of young girls, including one as young as 8.
He is also accused of being in contact with another person who would find and bring him children for sex.
It's not yet clear if any of his students were among the victims.
Sohngen faces eight counts of federal sex trafficking charges.
