"'Pictures just have a huge impact on me,' [Jon] Cruz wrote, according to the complaint."
The boys Cruz allegedly lured were not boys at the Bronx High School of Science, where the students are all presumably super-smart, having gained admission through a competitive NYC test.
ADDED: As a commenter points out, Cruz allegedly "also admitted to soliciting photographs from a Bronx Science student in exchange for a gift," though the charges relate to 3 boys in New Mexico and upstate New York.

People like Jon Cruz need to be discouraged or else there won't be enough teenage boys willing to bag groceries or bus tables.
What was the tell in Cruz' case? How could he have been avoided?
Under the rules of the New York teachers union, this could get him suspended. Maybe for a week, With pay if course. But as a gay man just expressing himself, he could probably appeal it successfully.
"The boys Cruz allegedly lured were not boys at the Bronx High School of Science, where the students are all presumably super-smart, having gained admission through a competitive NYC test."
Well, according to the last sentence of the sixth paragraph, "he also admitted to soliciting photographs from a Bronx Science student in exchange for a gift."
Got that story beat.
Minister, activist charged with shooting English High student
To the kids at Boston’s English High School, where the Rev. Shaun O. Harrison Sr. was considered the dean of students, the pastor and prominent antigang activist was known by the nickname that adorned his office door: “Rev.”
And that, police say, is how a 17-year-old student found bleeding from a bullet fired into the back of his head identified the man who shot him Tuesday.
“Rev,” police and prosecutors say, was leading a double life.
Arraigned in Roxbury District Court on Thursday, Harrison, 55, is accused of attempting to execute a student he had been mentoring at English, but was also allegedly selling marijuana as part of the pastor’s drug operation.
The reverend who organized gun buybacks and preached nonviolence, officials allege, was also running drugs and hiding gang tattoos below his clerical collar. He is charged with armed assault with intent to murder, aggravated assault and battery, and unlawful possession of a firearm.
Through an attorney, Harrison denied the charges.
In court, Suffolk Assistant District Attorney David Bradley described the alleged attack as an “execution-style shooting” of a teen who survived despite being shot behind the ear...
“He had told the victim that they were going to a house to get marijuana and meet up with some girls for the victim,” Bradley said.
Surveillance video that prosecutors allege captured the shooting shows a man on a cellphone raise his hand toward the head of a person walking in front of him then fleeing.
Bradley said in court that the student then stumbled into traffic, where he hailed a passing car for help.
The student was taken to Boston Medical Center, where doctors removed a bullet lodged in the boy’s cheek. On Wednesday, he told police that he had been selling marijuana for Harrison for the past several months, Bradley said.
The student identified Harrison, and video showed the alleged shooter returning to an apartment on Pompeii Street that belongs to Harrison, he said.
Inside the apartment, the student told police, Harrison had a mural depicting members of the Latin Kings gang, Bradley said.
Makes you wonder if these people ever step back and say to themselves, "...is there more I could do with my life than collecting underage dick pics on my phone?"
The smart kids at Bronx are all gawky and bespectacled. He had to go as far afield as New Mexico to find someone hot. Perhaps if Bronx gets rid of the competitive exam system, it can attract more physically attractive students.
As long as the dues keep ending up in the dems coffers, what does it matter that some boys were used in this way?
Tells? You mean aside from being openly actively (as in activist) gay and lefty (and if you think he's left you should see his friends), why would anyone think him a deviant and a criminal?
