The former Christian Brothers Academy instructor charged with the rape of a 16-year old student waived her right to hearing Tuesday on the findings of the breathalyzer test which sent her back to jail Friday after Albany police charged her for driving while intoxicated.
Sandra ‘Beth” Geisel, 42, had been free on $20,000 on charges of felony third degree rape and endangering the welfare of a child for allegedly having sex several times with a 16-year-old CBA student including once in the press box at the school.
Geisel had been scheduled to appear in Albany Police Court Tuesday morning for a review of the alcohol test results but her attorney, Donald T. Kinsella, notified the court that she was waiving her right to the hearing.
Her bail had been revoked after arrest on Friday and she is incarcerated at the Albany County Jail. Albany District Attorney David Soares has stated that he will oppose any new bail application by Geisel.
