She grabbed national headlines -- a Catholic school teacher who had sex with her teenage students.
Sandra "Beth" Geisel, 42, shocked the community when she was caught in a car by police having sex with a teenage boy. He was 17, and of the age of consent. But that sparked Geisel, an instructor at Christian Brothers Academy, to tell the school about it. She was fired, and parents were told.
That's when other students from the all-boys private school in Colonie came forward, claiming also to have had sex with the teacher. All were age 17 -- except for one.
A 16-year-old admitted to having sex with Geisel three times. Police investigated and said that's when they were told of Geisel being drunk at parties with the students and having sexual contact with a few of them on a number of occasions.
