Student seduced by teacher at ‘Horndog High’ awarded $750K

A former high school football player who had sex with his teacher at Brooklyn’s infamous “Horndog High’’ just netted a $750,000 award for damages.

Kevin Eng :barf4: was a 16-year-old student at James Madison High School when his tattooed English teacher, Erin Sayar, 36, plied him with pot and seduced him in 2011.

While the married mom was supposed to be tutoring Eng, the pair were having intercourse and oral sex in her SUV and even in her office, where she was accused of keeping a stash of weed in her filing cabinet.

Sayar initially was charged with 50 criminal counts of statutory rape and sex abuse, then copped a plea deal and was sentenced to 10 years’ probation, stripped of her teaching license and designated a Level 1 sex offender.

Eng’s mom sued Sayar and the city in civil court, citing her son’s emotional anguish over the saga. She lost her $10 million suit against school officials last year, but the teen’s lawyer, Bruce Baron, continued with his case against Sayar.

But Sayar, whose husband left her in 2013 , dropped off the radar, Baron told The Post on Tuesday.

The lawyer said he had filed numerous civil motions on behalf of Eng in the past five years, and each time Sayar “didn’t show’’ up to court or didn’t respond to legal letters.

Even her own lawyer had lost touch with her.

“We have had no contact with her in years,” said lawyer Michael Marinaccio, whose firm represented her in the criminal case.

On Aug. 17, a Brooklyn Supreme Court judge, fed up with her failure to respond, ordered a judgment against Sayar totaling $750,000.

“This verdict along with the punitive damages awarded by the judge sends a strong message that teachers across New York state should take their position of authority very seriously,” Baron said.

The lawyer said his office has already started looking for financial records that might show what money and holdings the disgraced former teacher has.

Reached by The Post on her cellphone, Sayar, now 41 and still living in Brooklyn, claimed she had no knowledge of the judgment.

“What happened?” she said when asked about the judge’s decision.

“I don’t know anything about that. I can’t talk about it because I don’t know,” she added.

Sayar, who was suffering from cancer during her criminal ordeal, was then asked if she was currently healthy.

“Yes, I am fine,” she said before abruptly hanging up.

Eng and his mother declined to comment Tuesday through their lawyer.

The illicit student-teacher romance came to light after Eng’s girlfriend alerted school authorities.

The Brooklyn high school got its problematic nickname because it has been a hotbed of sexual shenanigans in recent years.

It’s the same school where Romance languages teachers Cindy Mauro and Alini Brito were accused of getting naked and having sex in a classroom, and where English teacher Craig Roffman was arrested after thousands of child-porn images were found on his home computer.

Former Chester County Teacher Charged With Having Sex With Student
August 29, 2017 5:10 PM

CHESTER COUNTY, Pa. (CBS) — A former Chester County teacher is accused of having sex with a student.

Investigators say 38-year-old Melissa Bonkoski had been previously arrested for having inappropriate contact with a 16-year-old student but has now been arrested for having sex with the student.

According to court documents, Bonkoski, who was a science teacher and softball coach at Owen J. Roberts High School, would communicate with the 16-year-old using a “burner” phone.

Detectives say Bonkoski would pick up the teen from work and the two would allegedly have “make-out” sessions in her car. The teen told police he was afraid he would stop getting rides if he stopped kissing Bonkoski.

Bonkoski allegedly invited the victim to her house where she discussed having oral sex with him and they eventually had sex, according to court documents.

The teen told detectives he tried to cut things off but Bonkoski kept texting him, and his girlfriend eventually found the text messages, leading to Bonkoski’s arrest.

Bonkoski resigned from her position at the school during the investigation.

Jessie Lorene Goline
Craighead County Jail


A former high school teacher in Arkansas accused of sleeping with four different students — two of them in the same night — stood before a judge Wednesday.

Jessie Lorene Goline, 25, faces one count of first-degree sexual assault, Arkansas Online reported.

Four students — three from Marked Tree School District and one from East Poinsett County School District — allegedly had sex with Goline, who was a teacher at Marked Tree High School, from January to April 2016, according to Arkansas Online.

Goline reportedly contacted the students via text messages, which, according to court documents, “became more and more sexual in nature.”

One of the students stated Goline texted him and asked him to go to her apartment, where they later had sexual intercourse.

Another student said Goline picked him up in Marked Tree, then drove him to her apartment in Jonesboro, where they had sex twice, KAIT-TV reported. That student told authorities that another student also visited Goline’s apartment that same night.

A third student told Arkansas State Police that Goline sent him sexually explicit texts, including a photo of herself in undergarments. The student said Goline commented on “how good he looked in class,” and “texted him that she would like to have sex with him but he was too young.”

Goline told authorities that she had sexual relations with four students, according to Arkansas Online, but believed one of them was 18, when he was “way younger than what he had told her.”

Court documents stated that Goline went to Principal Matt Wright’s office crying, while he was in the midst of reporting the situation to the Arkansas Crimes Against Children hotline.

When Wright asked if she had any inappropriate contact with students, Goline allegedly said, “I’m not going to lose my husband,” but added, “We had sex.”

Goline was booked into the Craighead County Detention Center on Wednesday afternoon on a $5,000 bond, and was waiting for an Oct. 31 court appearance. KAIT-TV reported she was released from custody later in the afternoon.

If convicted, Goline could face 10 to 40 years, or life, in prison.

A former middle school gym teacher in Georgia was arrested for the second time this year for having sex with a student.

Shawnetta D. Reece, 40, was taken into custody Thursday for engaging in sexual conduct with a high school senior in 2015, according to the Georgia Bureau of Investigation. The student was 18 years old at the time of the alleged relationship.

The former Union County Middle School gym teacher was arrested at her Blairsville home.

Authorities became aware of the relationship while investigating allegations that the teacher was sexually involved with a 15-year-old student in 2013.

Reece was arrested Aug. 14 for the relationship with the 15-year-old. She was charged with child molestation and sexual assault by persons with supervisory or disciplinary authority.

She was booked again Thursday on charges of sexual assault by persons with supervisory or disciplinary authority in the case of the second victim.

Authorities said they will continue to investigate the former track coach.

“Upon completion of the investigation, the case will be provided to the Enotah Judicial Circuit District Attorney for prosecution,” the Georgia Bureau of Investigation said.

Knox County Sheriff's Office


KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — The wife of a former high school assistant football coach in Tennessee has pleaded guilty to having sex with a 16-year-old player on her husband’s team.

The Knoxville News-Sentinel reports Kelsey McCarter, 27, pleaded guilty to seven counts, including six charges of statutory rape. The report says she agreed to a three-year prison term but could be eligible for release after serving about a third of her sentence.

The mother of a Knoxville high school sophomore says the encounters occurred in 2015 while the teen had lived with McCarter and her husband, Justin McCarter. The husband had invited the student to live at their home after the teen faced behavioral problems, according to the report. (Sounds like a teennigger thug.)

Justin McCarter resigned last year.

Heather Lee Robertson
Angelina County Sheriff's Department


An East Texas kindergarten teacher who had sex with at least six high school students accepted a plea deal Thursday that will require her to spend 10 years in a state prison.

As part of the agreement, 39-year-old Heather Lee Robertson will be required to surrender her teaching certification and register as a sex offender for the rest of her life.

Robertson was facing six charges of sexual assault of a child and six counts of having an improper relationship with a student. She would have faced up to 240 years in prison if convicted on all counts.

“Teachers are entrusted with our most valuable and most precious asset every day,” Angelina County Assistant District Attorney Todd Dillon said in a statement. “When teachers betray that trust in Angelina County, they will be held accountable for that betrayal, and they will face significant punishment.”

Prosecutors say Robertson had sex with the students between November of last year and this past February, with the first encounter taking place shortly after her husband filed for divorce. Robertson told a police officer for the Hudson Intermediate School District that she had started drinking heavily and would not be able to remember details of the encounters.

According to court documents, Robertson initiated the encounters by contacting the victims on Snapchat.

On one occasion this past November, a student convinced his parents to drop him off at Robertson’s apartment so he could help her move furniture. Instead, court documents say, Robertson and the student had sex before Robertson took him home.

Katie Carsey
Marion County Sheriff's Department


Police arrested a Florida teacher’s aide for having sexual contact with a former student — months after discovering her half-naked just after one of the pair’s rendezvous.

Katie Carsey, 36, was charged Wednesday for an alleged relationship with a 14-year-old boy she met at Fort McCoy Middle School, according to the Marion County Sheriff’s Office.

The married educator faces charges for lewd or lascivious molestation.

Deputies initially found Carsey, who is a paraprofessional teacher’s assistant, only wearing a bra and underwear in a car at a church parking lot in July while investigating a suspicious vehicle.

She tried to leave the parking lot and told police she was there to meet another man, according to the Village News.

Months later, police received a tip that Carsey was involved with the student after she told someone she had barely escaped being caught having sex with the student before authorities arrived, WKMG reported.

Investigators interviewed the teen, who is now 15, and he confirmed the allegations. He admitted that he had been with Carsey in the vehicle, but fled the scene when deputies arrived.

Carsey first gave conflicting information to investigators, but ultimately confessed to sexual involvement with the student, authorities said.

She was taken into custody at Marion County Jail, where she is being held on $10,000 bond.

Katherine Ross Ridenhour

A married North Carolina teacher and junior varsity cheerleading coach was arrested Wednesday after allegedly having a sexual relationship with a male student.

Katherine Ross Ridenhour, 23, an educator at Cox Mill High School in Concord, N.C., allegedly had a consensual relationship with a 17-year-old male student, FOX46 reported.

The Concord Police Department said Ridenhour and the student had “inappropriate contact” several times during the last month and a half at the school, FOX46 reported.

Ridenhour was hired by the district in Aug. 2016 as a family consumer and science teacher. She resigned from her position Tuesday.

The Charlotte Observer reported Ridenhour graduated from Liberty University in 2016.

Ridenhour was charged with two counts of “indecent liberties with a student,” police said.

Parents told FOX46 something needed to be done about teachers having inappropriate relationships with students.

“They need to come up with something more severe and strict in cases like this. I don’t know what, but something needs to be done because it’s happening everywhere daily,” Lavonne Strickland, a parent of a student at the school, told FOX46.

Another parent, Daisy Rawlins, said: “I think it’s appalling, and I don’t understand why this keeps happening. It’s being reported a lot and I don’t understand why teachers think it’s okay to mess around with students.”

Former Delaware Teacher Pleads Guilty to Sex with Students
Published at 2:24 PM EST on Nov 19, 2017

A former middle school teacher has pleaded guilty to fourth-degree rape after she admitted to a sexual relationship with a 17-year-old boy.

Thirty-eight-year-old Karen Brooks of Dover was working as a teacher at Smyrna Middle School in Delaware at the time of her arrest in June. She pleaded guilty Thursday.

According to the Delaware Department of Justice, police were searching for a 17-year-old boy listed as missing when they found him in Brooks' car in Ocean City, Maryland.

The Delaware State News reports that court documents state the two met when the boy was manager of a track team she coached.

Prosecutors say their investigation uncovered a second sexual relationship Brooks had with another student.

Brooks faces zero to 30 years when she is sentenced in February.

Teacher, 28, Arrested for Having Sex with 16-Year-Old South Jersey Student
Published at 1:55 PM EST on Dec 2, 2017 | Updated at 8:23 PM EST on Dec 2, 2017

A 28-year-old teacher was arrested Friday on charges that she had sex with a 16-year-old South Jersey student.

Alyssia Marie Reddy had taught English at the Pennington School, a day and boarding school in Pennington, New Jersey, a police report shows.

In December 2016, Reddy gave the student her cell phone number and then added him on Snapchat, according to the police records. The student said in February 2017 he received messages from Reddy saying, "I want your hands on me."

About three weeks after that, Reddy picked up the student from a friend's house in Solebury, Pennsylvania, drove him to a nearby park and had sex with him, according to the police report.

Police received the first report of the incident on November 20. In a statement to parents, the school said they had reported the case to prosecutors after being made aware of it.

The school said it is cooperating with law enforcement, and that the head of the school plans to meet with students Monday.

Reddy had since left the school and moved to Maryland. A Baltimore television station reported that Reddy had been teaching at the St. Paul School for Girls near Baltimore, and that she had been fired.

She was arrested by the Baltimore County Fugitive Task Force, police said.

Reddy is charged with institutional sexual assault, unlawful contact with a minor, criminal use of a communication facility and corruption of a minor.

Teacher accused of having sex with teen inside middle school

Jessica Langford
Montgomery County Jail


An Ohio middle school teacher is accused of engaging in oral sex and intercourse with a 14-year-old male student in May – and the alleged sex acts reportedly occurred inside the school.

Jessica Langford, 32, has pleaded not guilty to three counts of sexual battery and three counts of unlawful sexual conduct with a minor, according to court records viewed by the Dayton Daily News.

Langford made her pleas on Nov. 21, but additional information about her case recently came to light in response to a defense request for more specific accusations.

Langford, who taught math at Miamisburg Middle School for nine years, allegedly performed oral sex on, received oral sex from and engaged in intercourse with the teen student twice. The sex acts reportedly occurred May 23 at the school, Cleveland.com reported.

The student allegedly told another teacher about the sexual encounters with Langford, and that teacher then told administrators.

“We did our own little, quick investigation at that point,” said Miamisburg Superintendent Dr. David Vail, adding that, after Langford was placed on administrative leave, she chose to resign. “Because of that fact we were mandated to report it to the Ohio Department of Education.”

Langford was the second teacher to get busted for alleged sex with a student in the Miami Valley area during a two-week span in November. Madeline Marx, a 23-year-old substitute teacher who didn’t work at Miamisburg, was accused of trysts with two students and arrested earlier in November.

“You’d certainly think…someone would say ‘I shouldn’t do that,’ but it doesn’t occur to them,” Vail said.

Andrea Nicole Barber
Douglas County Sheriff’s Office


A former Christian school teacher faces charges after her husband reportedly busted her having an affair with a 15-year-old student.

Andrea Nicole Barber, 29, was arrested Friday at her home in Cottage Grove, Oregon, just days after her spouse allegedly walked in on her and the student in bed, The News-Review reported.

Soon after they were caught, the teen’s father received an anonymous email asking whether he knew his son and the Logan Christian Academy teacher were in a sexual relationship, authorities said.

In the Dec. 12 message, photos were attached of the boy in bed with the English teacher.

The anonymous email was reported to authorities who determined that Baber allegedly had sex “on a regular basis” with the student, according to The Register-Guard.

Deputies said that Baber began a relationship in 2016 with the teen and often provided him with alcohol and pot.

She was booked Friday at Douglas County Jail on charges including sodomy, rape and contributing to the sexual delinquency of a minor.

Authorities said that Baber was no longer employed at Logan Christian Academy, but her staff biography remained Monday on the school website.

“Andrea has always felt called to work with youth and is very excited that God opened the door for her to be part of the Logos team,” her biography says. “She lives with her husband, dog and cat just south of Eugene.”

BRIDGEPORT, Conn. — A former teacher’s aide at a Connecticut middle school has pleaded guilty to having a sexual relationship with a 15-year-old boy.

The Connecticut Post reports that 48-year-old Kyle Damato-Kushel pleaded guilty Thursday to second-degree sexual assault and risk of injury to a child as the case was being prepared for trial.

She faces 18 months in prison at sentencing on March 14. Her lawyer said in court the sentence was “an agreed recommendation,” but refused comment outside of court.

Damato-Kushel previously turned down a plea deal that would have sent her to prison for up to four years.

Damato-Kushel worked at Wooster Middle School in Stratford. She was arrested in 2015 when her husband discovered the relationship.

The victim’s attorney says his client is satisfied with the plea deal.

Dori Myers
G. N. Miller; Twitter


A Bronx public school teacher whose social media was peppered with smiling snaps showing her laughing with friends or clutching a bottle of bubbly, was all scowls Saturday as she denied allegations she sexually assaulted a student.

Wearing a red Marist College sweatshirt and an annoyed frown, Dori Myers listened as prosecutors accused her of performing oral sex on a 14-year-old boy, and said a fellow teacher witnessed Myers massaging the victim.

Myers, 29, a social studies teacher at The New School for Leadership and the Arts in Kingsbridge, was busted Friday night and charged with criminal sexual act in the second degree and endangering the welfare of a child.

Prosecutors initially requested a $50,000 bail and said Myers “abused her position as a trusted authority figure,” but Judge Laura Drager eventually released the teacher on her own recognizance.

Cops got word of the incident after the boy, believed to be Myers’ student, told a classmate. The classmate then notified a school administrator, according to police.

The alleged assault took place in Upper Manhattan on Nov. 1, according to a criminal complaint.

Myers who lives in Rockland County where her husband is a sheriff’s deputy, denied the allegations, said lawyer, Andrew Stoll.

Stoll noted the teacher had started a track team at the Bronx school, where she had worked since 2014.

“It just takes one person’s accusation to make an arrest in this town and she’s a model citizen who looks forward to clearing her name,” Stoll told The Post.

The brunette wrote about her students, and partying, on social media, where she posted a since-deleted picture of herself beaming in a dark blue, low cut tank top that read “Champagne All Day, ” while holding a bottle in one hand and a glass of bubbly in the other.

In another now-deleted image, Myers is wearing a white top with the bawdy phrase: “Whiskey Makes Me Frisky.”

Her students weren’t shy about commenting on her looks, Myers wrote in a 2015 tweet.

“Ms. You’re like, real pretty, but, no offense, you got a big forehead,” the now-deleted tweet read.

The judge issued a 30-day order of protection requiring Myers to stay away from the victim.

The Department of Education called the allegations “deeply troubling” and said Myers, who has no prior disciplinary history, was immediately reassigned “away from students.”

Special ed teacher sentenced to 20 years in prison for sex with student

HARTFORD, S.D. — A former special education teacher from Hartford has been sentenced to 20 years in prison for having a sexual relationship with a teenage student.

Thirty-one-year-old Kari Jo Boll earlier pleaded guilty to fourth-degree rape and sexual contact with a child under 16 after admitting to having sex multiple times with the student, who was 15 at the time.

The Argus Leader says Boll initially faced 21 charges that could have led to a maximum 300 years in prison upon conviction. A plea deal capped the sentence at 30 years.

Boll was a teacher at West Central for three years before her arrest. She told investigators her relationship with the student began after he started working at her Hartford farm.

Teacher who made sex tape with student gets hired again
By Yaron Steinbuch
February 15, 2018 | 10:30am | Updated

A former Staten Island teacher who resigned in disgrace after making a sex tape with a student has found greener pastures in the Garden State, according to a report.

Nadine Sudlow, 30, who taught English at Liberation Diploma Plus High School, had sex with her “pet pupil” during a hotel tryst that was caught in footage that the youth shared with his pals, according to a probe.

She regularly treated the student to free lunches and Starbucks coffee, which he said made him feel “weird,” but added he thought she was just “fooling around.”

The untenured teacher — who told the student in emails that she was “mad horny” — resigned in July 2014, two months after a complaint was lodged with the office of a special schools investigator.

But shortly after a 2015 report in The Post, New Jersey granted Sudlow a teaching certificate and she was hired by the Newark school district, the Asbury Park Press reported Wednesday.

She claimed a principal who knew about her history encouraged her to apply for the position, the news outlet reported.

“It happens so often because they can get away with it,” said Terri Miller, president of Stop Educator Sexual Abuse Misconduct & Exploitation, or SESAME, the paper reported.

“They have the support of the teachers union. School administrators and districts would rather stay safe and save money than save children.”

New Jersey is considering legislation that would ban confidentiality agreements that protect teachers with substantiated cases of abuse or misconduct.

Brittany Zamora
Maricopa County Sheriff's Office


A sixth-grade teacher in Arizona has been arrested after the parents of a 13-year-old boy found text messages indicating a sexual relationship between the pair, police said.

Brittany Zamora, a 27-year-old teacher at Las Brisas Academy Elementary School in Goodyear, was taken into custody late Wednesday after the discovery of the text messages, which implied the pair had gotten physical both on and off campus, KPHO reports.

“The text messages found are sexual in nature [and] allege an ongoing relationship between the two,” said Lisa Kutis, a spokeswoman for the Goodyear Police Department.

The texts were found because the boy’s parents had installed an app to monitor his phone, Kutis said.

“As a result of the app, which alerted the parents to some key words, they then checked the cellphone and discovered these text messages,” Kutis told the station.

The boy’s parents then informed the school’s principal about the texts before the allegations were relayed to police, along with screenshots of the incriminating texts, according to Liberty School District interim district superintendent Richard Rundhaug.

“The safety of our students is our #1 priority,” Rundhaug said in a statement posted on the school’s website. “Transparency is equally important. We are fully cooperating with the Goodyear Police Department and will comment further at the appropriate time.”

Parents of students at the school learned of Zamora’s arrest via an automated message, KNXV reports.

“It just freaked me out right away,” Jessica Arroyo told the station. “That’s just crazy. I can’t even connect that. That’s wrong.”

It’s unclear whether other students may have been communicating with Zamora and detectives are conducting additional interviews, Kutis told the Arizona Republic.

“That’s part of our overall investigation,” Kutis said. “We’re not ruling that out.”

It’s unclear how long Zamora taught at the school, but she was certified in 2016 to teach elementary students in the state, according to online records.

A sixth-grade teacher in Arizona accused of having sex with a 13-year-old student performed oral sex on him in a classroom — and told the teen she wanted him “every day with no time limit,” according to court records.

Brittany Zamora, a 27-year-old teacher at Las Brisas Academy Elementary School in Goodyear, allegedly had sex with the 13-year-old student three times and also performed oral sex on him in her car during encounters from Feb. 1 through March 8, according to court records obtained by the Arizona Republic.

Zamora and the teen also traded naked photos, he told police, saying their relationship started when the married teacher began “flirting” with him in a classroom chat group. She then sent the teen a nude picture of herself and another clad in lingerie.

During one exchange, the teen told Zamora he wanted to have sex with her again, court records show.

“I know baby!” Zamora responded. “I want you every day with no time limit.”

In another message, according to court records, Zamora said: “If I could quit my job and (have sex with) you all day long, I would.”

Zamora was arrested last week after the teen’s parents found text messages indicating a sexual relationship between the pair. The texts were discovered because the boy’s parents had installed an app to monitor his phone, police said.

Zamora was taken into custody Thursday on one count of obscene material transmission to a minor, according to the Arizona Republic. A court commissioner then found probable cause to hold her on suspicion of eight counts of sexual conduct with a minor, two counts of child molestation and one count of transmitting obscene material, according to the newspaper.

Zamora told a court commissioner that she would “love to go home, to be released” during her initial appearance in court on Friday.

“I’d love to go home to my husband,” Zamora told Commissioner Melissa Zabor, who set her bond at $250,000.

A second student has also told police he saw Zamora and the 13-year-old student having sex. Zamora also sent a second student naked photos of herself, he told police.

The alleged sexual relationship was reported to police late Wednesday by the school’s principal after the teen’s parents found the concerning text messages. Screenshots of the incriminating texts were relayed to police, according to Liberty School District interim superintendent Richard Rundhaug.

“The safety of our students is our #1 priority,” Rundhaug said in a statement posted on the school’s website. “Transparency is equally important. We are fully cooperating with the Goodyear Police Department and will comment further at the appropriate time.”

Rundhaug said in a statement a day later that the arrested staff member would not return to the school.

“This incident has been reported to the Arizona State Board of Education so they can make a determination regarding the teacher’s certification,” Rundhaug said. “Additionally, we have school counselors and school psychologists at Las Brisas Academy today to help students and staff members cope with this incident. The school psychologists and school counselors will also be available for the foreseeable future to continue to attend to our students’ and staff members’ needs.”

The teen’s parents also told police that Zamora’s husband “harassed” the teen’s father on the phone, begging for him not to contact authorities about the allegations.

Zamora’s husband told the teen’s father that his wife had “made a big mistake, but that she loved the kids,” according to court records obtained by the newspaper.

Zamora’s husband also seemingly suggested that he and the teen’s father fight each other to settle the bizarre love triangle, suggesting that they “meet up” to “settle this.” The teen’s father ignored the invitation and hung up, court records show.

Zamora, who started working at the school less than a year ago, is due to appear in court Thursday, according to the Arizona Republic. It was unclear if she had hired an attorney.

Teacher told me to ‘stick to story’ after classroom sex: teen

Jessica Langford
Montgomery County Jail


An Ohio middle school teacher accused of having sex with an eighth-grader in a classroom told the boy to “stick to the story” after the principal interrupted the tryst by knocking on the door, he testified Thursday.

The boy, now 15, said that Jessica Langford, a 32-year-old former math teacher at Miamisburg Middle School, told him to hide and dummy up when they were forced to stop on on May 23, 2017 – the last day of school, the Dayton Daily News reports.

The boy – now a freshman in high school and the son of a police officer – was not Langford’s student but testified that she arranged for them to meet in her classroom. She brought doughnuts for him to eat before the pair started to kiss, have oral sex and intercourse for about 20 to 30 minutes in the darkened classroom, he testified.

“We started kissing and it escalated from there,” he told jurors.

After the principal knocked on the door, Langford told the teen to “hide under the desk,” he testified.

“It felt uncomfortable,” the teen told jurors. “I thought it was wrong.”

The teen said he didn’t discuss the encounter with anyone for more than a year and lied about it to school administrators, admitting that he told Langford’s defense attorney that he didn’t want to “throw her under the bus” while denying their relationship. But he later revealed the affair to his father.

Jurors deliberated for about 90 minutes on the six counts of sexual battery and unlawful sexual conduct with a minor that Langford faces before they were sent home. The jury of eight men and four women were scheduled to continue the deliberations Friday, according to the newspaper.

Langford’s attorney, Lawrence Greger, said “reasonable doubt exists” in the case, claiming that the teen changed his version of events multiple times.

Langford has since resigned from her job after being placed on administrative leave after the teen told his father of the encounter.

The teen, meanwhile, testified that he met Langford while on a school trip to Washington, D.C. They later connected on Snapchat, where the teen told her he wanted to have sex with her, he testified.
