James Madison High School teacher Alini Brito was fired last week for allegedly having sex with co-worker Cindy Mauro in an empty classroom in November 2009. A janitor caught them with their pants down and tops off, but Brito says it wasn't sex, it was a medical emergency. Brito claims she is a diabetic, and invited Mauro upstairs to "check her blood sugar" and give her an insulin shot. We've totally seen this movie before.
Once upstairs, Brito claims she felt weak and lay down on the floor. She also took off her sweater to use as a pillow (cue soft R&B music), and Mauro but a chair under Brito's legs to "aid her circulation." Mauro claims she was fully clothed at the time, and the room was dark so the janitor could have just let his imagination run wild. However, school safety officer Ruth Reyes also saw the scene, and she claims, "[Brito] was naked on the floor... and I saw the blond between her legs, and when I opened the door, she looked up and told me to shut the door."
Despite the testimony, state arbitrator Mary Crangle ruled that "there is no possible medical, nonsexual assistance that a partially naked person could possibly be rendering to another naked person in the position described." Maybe it was just medical and sexual? She probably just had a case of hysteria.
