A Dutchess County special education teacher has been accused of having sex with a 15-year-old disabled student. Teacher Mandi Weeks, 27, was arrested on Monday in Queens. She admitted to having sex with her student at the Devereux Foundation NY Center for the past month, according to police.
Weeks is being charged with two counts of rape with a child under the age of 21 and two acts of acting in a manner to injure a child under the age of 17.
The student was in the school’s residential program and lived on campus. He had been home on break for the last two weeks. Weeks lives in upstate New York and the reason for her commute to Queens Monday is still being questioned; sources said she may have been visiting her brother in Brooklyn.
