It is an epidemic.
A former gym teacher and assistant basketball coach at Moore Catholic High School has been accused of having an ongoing sexual relationship with a male student.
Megan Mahoney, 24, was arrested Monday and faces charges of rape in the third-degree, criminal sexual act in the third-degree and endangering the welfare of a child. The victim is 16, according to a criminal complaint, and the relationship continued between Oct. 31, 2013 and Jan. 9.
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 [do it] in the car,” the boy, whose name was withheld, told the newspaper.
