Horndog High strikes again! Brooklyn's James Madison High—which you might recall from, among other incidents, the time two teachers were caught there in a lesbian tryst (or giving sexy insulin shots) a few years back—is back in the tabloids! This time because a 36-year-old married English teacher had allegedly been teaching her 16-year-old charge the finer points of sexting, late night SUV sexcapades, and smoking pot in school. And she would have gotten away with it too... if the boy's girlfriend didn't snitch.
According to a legal notice filed on behalf of the boy's parents (who plan to sue the city for more than $10 million for robbing the boy of his "innocence") English teacher Erin Sayar had sex with 11th-grader Kevin Eng at least eight times last December when she was supposed to be tutoring him. In addition to playing hanky-panky, Sayar allegedly plied her charge with pot that she kept stashed in an office filing cabinet. Over the course of the month the married mother of a young girl exchanged 3,856 text messages with Eng.
The relationship fell apart, however, after Eng's girlfriend spotted the pair flirting and hacked into his Facebook account. There she found messages to Sayar that said, “i love you so much” and “I always loved you, since last year.” To which Sayar wrote back, “oh no - I’m not putting myself out there again. I made that mistake last night and you couldn’t handle it.”
The girl turned in what she found to school authorities and, after denying it at first, eventually Eng confessed to what he and Sayar had been up to. Apparently at one point she even picked him up from his home in her SUV after midnight for a tryst.
Sayar, whom the Post points out has a salary of $78,885 a year, had taught at James Madison since 2000 but was reassigned in January after officials were clued in to what had reportedly been going on. Eng's parent's, meanwhile, are suing not just because their son lost his innocence, but also because, according to their lawyer, the story made him "subject of scorn and ridicule in the community." But they should look on the bright side: at least a picture of the pair canoodling didn't make the cover the Post. Only Sayar's face made the cover of the News this morning.
