Parents and students at I.S. 59 in Jamaica, Queens were shocked to learn that longtime music teacher Vaughn McKinney was arrested for having a sexual relationship with an underage girl.
Investigators say McKinney met the girl through his wife who directs the East Flatbush Ecumenical Choir and that his victim was not a student of his.
According to a report by the Special Commissioner of Investigation, McKinney began having sex with the girl when she was 16. Investigators allege that McKinney had sex with the girl over a dozen times in 2011 and that the first encounter was in March of that year, when McKinney’s wife traveled out of town for a religious retreat.
