A Queens, New York, high school gym teacher is accused of r*ping one of her students.
CBS reports that Joy Morsi, 39, allegedly had sex with her 16-year-old male victim in the basement, a gym closet and other locations inside Grover Cleveland High School over a seven-week period beginning in June of last year. Prosecutors said Morsi sent s*xually explicit selfies to the victim and asked if he was a virgin,according to the New York Daily News. They also said she was upset when she found out the student was taking a date to prom.
The age of consent in New York is 17 years old.
Many students who spoke to the media about the allegations expressed surprise, but a senior at the school told the Daily News the two were seen hanging out regularly.
“I see them together all the time,” Bianca Racz said. “It’s not like they were s*xual and touched each other, but they used to hug and stuff in the halls all the time.”
WABC-TV reports that Morsi’s husband also works at the school.
Morsi is charged with third-degree r*pe and third-degree criminal s*x act.
Authorities said they became aware of the allegations after the victim told a fellow student, who told her mom who works in the school system.
Morsi has been put on unpaid leave while the criminal investigation continues
