A pervy assistant principal of a Queens public high school was busted Wednesday for inappropriate contact with a 15-year-old student, cops and law enforcement sources said.

Michael Budhu, a 52-year-old administrator at John Adams High School, allegedly rubbed the inner thigh of the female student on Monday, police and the sources said.

Then on Tuesday, the assistant principal allegedly showed the same teen a video of himself having sex with someone else while creepily telling her, “This could be you,” according to the sources.

The student reported the adult’s vile actions, and he was taken into custody just after 10 a.m. Wednesday at the Rockaway Boulevard school, cops and sources said.

Budhu was charged with endangering the welfare of a child and sexual abuse in the third degree, police said.

“This alleged behavior is reprehensible, and nothing is more important than the safety and well-being of our students,” Department of Education spokeswoman Jenna Lyle said in a statement.

“This employee has been reassigned pending an investigation.”
