STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. — Megan Mahoney, a former Moore Catholic High School gym teacher and assistant basketball coach, has been arrested and is facing rape and other charges in connection with an affair she allegedly had with a student, according to an NYPD spokesman.
She was arrested on Monday morning and faces charges of rape in the third-degree, criminal sexual act in the third-degree and endangering the welfare of a child, the spokesman said.
