N.Y. Teacher Accused of Raping Boy

ALBANY, N.Y. — A 42-year-old teacher at a Catholic school who was charged with rape for allegedly having sex with an underage male student posted a $20,000 bond Tuesday and was released from jail.

Authorities said Sandra Beth Geisel had sex with four students from the Christian Brothers Academy in Colonie, N.Y., but in three of the cases the boys were 17-years-old and therefore were legally able to give their consent. Geisel faces sexual assault charges for allegedly having sex with a 16-year-old boy.

John Aretakis, who has represented alleged victims of clerical sexual abuse and is now the lawyer for a 17-year-old CBA student who allegedly had sex with Geisel, said the school ignored her "bizarre and irresponsible behavior" for months. Geisel, a mother of four, was fired from the school in June. She was on the school's payroll first as an English teacher and then as a volunteer in the school's writing lab.

Police in Cohoes, a town adjacent to Colonie, responded to a resident's call June 11 about a suspicious parked car. Police said they found Geisel and a 17-year-old student inside the car. About a week later, the school sent a letter to parents about the alleged affair, though officials didn't identify the teacher. Officials said they'd found the conduct inappropriate.

After reports of Geisel's dismissal spread, a 16-year-old student, at the urging of his parents, reported to Colonie police that he'd had two sexual encounters with her, according to the Troy Record. "If [Geisel] were a man, she'd likely be referred to as a predator," said Colonie Police Chief Steven Heider.

Geisel faces 16 years in prison.

Heider said Geisel first had sex with the 16-year-old the night of May 15 in her Latham home, and then again on the night of May 28 in the press box at the school's football field.

Signed statements by the boy and others describe a number of sexual encounters involving the former teacher.

but in three of the cases the boys were 17-years-old and therefore were legally able to give their consent.

OK ... so in NY, 17 year olds are legally allowed to give consent ... but ...

John Aretakis, who has represented alleged victims of clerical sexual abuse and is now the lawyer for a 17-year-old CBA student who allegedly had sex with Geisel, said the school ignored her "bizarre and irresponsible behavior" for months.

So? He's 17. Also...

Police in Cohoes, a town adjacent to Colonie, responded to a resident's call June 11 about a suspicious parked car. Police said they found Geisel and a 17-year-old student inside the car.

Again, he's 17 ... so what?

Only one 16 year old boy was "raped" by her ... and she deserves to go to prison for it. But why bring up the fact she was with five 17-year-olds if being with a 17-year-old is considered consentual behavior? Sounds like a slanted article to me.

[shelbyGT]

I know we have to draw a line somewhere, but going to jail for years because one was 16, however if they were all 17 nothing would be done... just seems a little silly. Sure, punish her, but I think prison is a little much. That kid knew what he was doing.

He's a minor in this case, but I bet if he did something wrong, they'd try him as an adult.

Farked up system.

i wish this werent true.. but ill say it again.. if it were a 42 yo man and a 16yo girl..even a 17 yo girl.. i bet the mood would be different about this.

I'd be OK with that. But then again, I'd also be OK if they were caught with a goat.

[lordsmurf]

Sounds like a slanted article to me.

Two words: FOX NEWS

Slanted? Nahhhhhhh .. "Fair & Balanced" / nod

Yup. The double-standard still exists. Females can be victimized by males but not the other way around. If it had been a man having sex with a girl, the media would be out for blood, women's groups would be marching in the streets, and courts would be advised to "throw away the key." And when the guy got out, he'd be required to register as a sex-offender. Switch the sex roles and, "In the twinkling of an eye," as St. Paul said to the Corinthians, "corruption shall take on incorruption."

I'll bet, though, that if the media went to interview the parents of those boys, the parents would have a far different view of this woman than the public in general.

Sounds like a slanted article to me.

I know we have to draw a line somewhere, but going to jail for years because one was 16, however if they were all 17 nothing would be done... just seems a little silly.

I think judges should be given some latitude in cases like this. For example, if it was a 16 year old boy sleeping with a 17 year old girl (or reverse the ages), it would still technically be the same crime ... but it would be a relationship within a peer-group. But, when you add 35 years to the age of the perpetrator AND the fact she's in a position of responsibility and trust involving children and all of a sudden, she doesn't seem so "cute" anymore and her acts don't seem all that innocent.

Just a passing thought ... but, NAMBLA (North American Man/Boy Love Association) is a publically-known group. I wonder if, not so public, there are groups like NAWBLA (North American Woman/Boy Love Association) ... or NAMGLA (North American Man/Girl Love Association) ... or NAWGLA (North American Woman/Girl Love Association) out there.

True story. When I was about 10, I went over to a friend's house to play and had to take a piss. So, I went to their bathroom and was in the middle of taking a leak when my friend's mom swung the bathroom door open, smiled, and whispered, "Need any help?" I shook my head no. She giggled, closed the door, and left. While all those other groups I mentioned may not exist as groups, I suspect lechery has been going on for a long time on both sides of the sex equation.

Maybe it's cuz I'm getting old but just from that photo of her I'd probably hit that too if I were a teen

try to flashback to being a teenager.. you'd probably tag just about any piece of tail that came your way.. i know i tried..

[lordsmurf]

Sandra Beth Geisel

Why do they always go for the 3-name thing? I doubt this woman uses "Beth" more than once a year to fill out paperwork.

[e404pnf]

to flashback to being a teenager.. you'd probably tag just about any piece of tail that came your way.. i know i tried..

Hell yeah

And can I ask a dumb-ass question - what is the legal age of consent in the US. I'm not planning ahead just wonder how far under they were

[smearbrick1]

Sandra Beth Geisel

Why do they always go for the 3-name thing? I doubt this woman uses "Beth" more than once a year to fill out paperwork.

"Sandy" to all of her friends.

What a pile of crap.

You know, I remember being that age (only 12 years ago) and I was perfectly aware of every situation I got into. Sure I was naive, but I was responsible for my actions. You can't tell me that that 16 year old kid didn't want what happened to happen. Did she threaten with bad grades? When are parents going to start holding kids accountable. Granted, the woman should have a little more sense, but to dump all of this on her... BS.

P.S. I was teenager at one time (as most of you were), and I can say for a fact that teenagers can be just as aggressive at "pursuit" as an adult.

[zzyzzx]

I'm not a teen (I'm 40) and I'd still hit it. And I like the idea of being able to surf the internet and find all female sex offenders in my area.

Should I be worried?

The attorney representing the former Christian Brothers Academy teacher who stands accused of raping a 16-year-old student said Wednesday that the student may have taken advantage of the teacher.

Attorney Donald Kinsella said, "it's a bad situation for everyone involved and whatever she did, if anything, with the 16-year-old may not have been consensual on her part."
His client, 42-year-old Sandra "Beth" Geisel, who completed an in-patient alcohol treatment program at St. Peter's Hospital in Albany and is attending daily AA meetings, may have been drunk on the night of the alleged rape, Kinsella hinted.
The victim's statement, however, indicates there was more than one encounter, and the Albany County District Attorney's office filed two felony rape charges against the mother of four, with another likely on the way, for an encounter the two allegedly had in Ravena.
The specific charges will be determined by a grand jury that will meet in the near future.
"A defense attorney has a job to do but we all know who the adult is here," said Richard Arthur, a spokesman for Albany County District Attorney David Soares. "We are investigating all allegations, interviewing all witnesses and want to be completely thorough."
According to the victim's statement to police, he and Geisel allegedly had sex at Geisel's 12 Long Shadow Drive home, in the press box at the CBA football field while other students listened, and, it was revealed Wednesday, at a home in Ravena.
Geisel spent Monday night in jail after returning from New Jersey to turn herself in to Colonie Police. The estranged wife of Thomas Geisel, a Key Bank president, is free on $20,000 bail.
Trouble began for Geisel, an employee at CBA for about a year, last month when Cohoes Police caught her in the back seat of a car with a 17-year-old student. Since that student and another CBA student the statements claim she had sex with are of legal age to consent, there were no charges.
All three are juniors at CBA, as is one of Geisel's children.
Shortly after Cohoes Police broke up the tryst, CBA fired Geisel and sent a letter to parents informing them of the incident. However, some parents are upset because the school did not move quickly enough. Since the initial incident did not include criminal charges, there was no investigation and relatively little press.
But, when the 16-year-old came forward and the details of the teacher's alleged sexual exploits with the three teens became public, the story sent the media into a frenzy, making national news.
In a press release issued by CBA, the school claims a yearbook picture was shown on television that allowed viewers to identify students, one media outlet offered money to a student to meet with a reporter in a hotel room, and one member of the media offered to pay the sister of a CBA student if she could get her brother to talk.
It does not mention anything about the incident or other reports, including one that claims that when the school became concerned about students spending too much time in Geisel's windowless office with the door closed, school officials installed a window.
Kinsella said, to his knowledge, the window was installed in the area because of another incident that did not involve his client.
Meanwhile, while attorney John Aretakis - who has given a round of television, radio and newspaper interviews - claims he represents one of the 17 year olds, Kinsella said "we are aware of two 17 year olds and I know who represents each of them and neither is represented by Aretakis, so I don't know who he is representing."
Aretakis, however, said he represents a third 17-year-old victim.
"Kinsella has been spreading that rumor because he is trying to find out how many more victims will come out against his client," said Aretakis, who made a niche representing victims of clergy sex abuse. "The boy (his client) won't talk to me, but his parents hired me."

Alcohol trouble cited in sex case

A former teacher at Christian Brothers Academy, who posted bail Tuesday on charges of having sex with an underage student, was arrested for drunken driving in December and has been struggling with alcoholism, her lawyer said.

"She did an in-house rehabilitation at St. Peter's and is going to AA meetings every day," he said. The treatment began after she left CBA, he said.

The mother of three sons and a daughter was fired in mid-June from the all-boys school where she had worked as an English teacher and later ran the school's writing lab. Her dismissal followed a Cohoes police investigation after she was found in a parked car with the 17-year-old student.

Six months earlier, on Dec. 18, she was arrested at 11:15 p.m. for driving while intoxicated on Route 9 near Century Hill Drive in Colonie. Two days later, she pleaded guilty to driving with ability impaired, a violation, according to Colonie Justice Court records. She was fined $300 and had her license lifted for 90 days.

"There's no question that anybody who knows anything about this ... alcohol is a factor in her situation," Kinsella said.

District Attorney David Soares feels differently. "I certainly don't believe that alcohol or depression are mitigating factors in this case."

Geisel faces two felony counts of third-degree rape involving the 16-year-old who could not legally give consent. She also faces two misdemeanor charges of endangering the welfare of a child. A conviction on the statutory rape count carries 1 /3 to 4 years in prison.

A grand jury will next hear the case, but that won't happen this week, Soares said. His office will continue to investigate, and he gave no timetable for the grand jury.

After the Cohoes incident became public, the boy went to Colonie police.

A letter was sent to all parents of CBA students, and since then, "no students have come forward and notified us (the school) of any alleged improper activity by (Geisel)," said Brian Culnan, an attorney and member of CBA's board of trustees.

Geisel's husband, from whom she is legally separated, is a banker. He has custody of their children.

Sandra Geisel, who grew up in Tennessee, had most recently been living in New Jersey but won't return there. She'll find a home locally, Kinsella said.

"It wouldn't have been a good idea to go back to New Jersey," Kinsella said. "The hounds from the press are onto the friend where she was staying, and knocking on neighbors' doors."

Geisel surrendered to Colonie police Monday. She spent the night in jail, where Sheriff James Campbell said she had a correction officer guard her all night. She was alone in an area where high-profile inmates are lodged.

Incredibly, she's not the only teacher gone wild lately.

In Miami, a middle-school reading teacher is charged with having sex with a 14-year-old student.

According to her attorney…24-year-old Debra Lafave was under such emotional stress that she didn't know right from wrong when she had sex with the 14-year-old boy…numerous times.


Students have been supporting her - by spray painting the school many times :

[rhegedus]

Is it too late for me to go back to school in the US?

They're both kind of hot.

[MOVIEGEEK]

Why are so many married teachers having sex with students lately?...and why didn't I get any when I was in school?! :P
There's a case going on in the town I live where the teacher was having sex with a 16 year old in her car...with her baby in the backseat!A cop caught them in the act but she plead not guilty?!Here's the kickerhe is still being paid her teachers salary while on trial.
BTW...the one from Florida is smokin' hot but I wouldn't mind spending time in detention with the one from NY.

[zzyzzx]

why didn't I get any when I was in school?!

Everyone else is jealous too.

Do you reckon they'd get an audition at the 'my first sex teacher' site?

Indiana school aide had sex with special ed students

AUGUST 10--Meet Amber Kay Marshall. The 23-year-old Indiana teacher's aide is the latest educator to get busted for allegedly having sex with underage male students. Marshall was charged Monday with child seduction and sexual misconduct with a minor for her alleged trysts with special ed students at Hebron High School. According to investigators, Marshall's encounters with the three boys spanned 14 months, beginning in March 2004, and occurred at her home, a Super 8 motel, and in a parked car. Marshall, who was charged in June with similar crimes in a neighboring county, faces more than 30 years in jail if convicted of the felony abuse counts.
