Gym Teacher, Charged With 30 Counts Of Statutory Rape

Megan Mahoney, Gym Teacher

                 

                       A former basketball coach and gym teacher at a prestigious New York City

 high school faces statutory rape charges for her alleged sex abuse of a male student.

                       Megan Mahoney, 24, was arrested Monday for allegedly having regular sexual

 contact with the same 16-year-old student over a period of more than two months

beginning in late October 2013, the Staten Island Advance reports.

                       In January, Mahoney resigned from Moore Catholic High School in Staten

Island, where she taught gym and was an assistant coach for the women's basketball

team.

                       Investigators said that some of the encounters happened on school grounds.

 In August, the victim told the New York Post that the illicit relationship began shortly after

 Mahoney allegedly approached him in the gym and offered to coach him in basketball.

                      “We would just drive around and  in the car,” the boy, whose name was

withheld, told the newspaper.

                      Richard Postiglione, the Moore's athletic director, was also investigated for

allegedly failing to report sex abuse accusations against Mahoney and another female

teacher at the school.

                      Before she was a coach, Mahoney was also a student athlete, playing

basketball for Fordham University and Wagner College.  more >>
