39 year old Female Teacher Allegedly R*pes 16year old Male Student Because She Was Angry (PICTURED)

A Queens, New York, high school gym

teacher is accused of r*ping one of her

students.

CBS reports that Joy Morsi, 39,

allegedly had sex with her 16-year-old

male victim in the basement, a gym

closet and other locations inside Grover

Cleveland High School over a seven-

week period beginning in June of last

year.

Prosecutors said Morsi sent s*xually

explicit selfies to the victim and asked if

he was a virgin, according to the New

York Daily News. They also said she was

upset when she found out the student

was taking a date to prom.

The age of consent in New York is 17

years old.

Many students who spoke to the media

about the allegations expressed

surprise, but a senior at the school told

the Daily News the two were seen

hanging out regularly.

“I see them together all the time,”

Bianca Racz said. “It’s not like they were

s*xual and touched each other, but they

used to hug and stuff in the halls all the

time.”

WABC-TV reports that Morsi’s husband

also works at the school.

Morsi is charged with third-degree r*pe

and third-degree criminal s*x act.

Authorities said they became aware of

the allegations after the victim told a

fellow student, who told her mom who

works in the school system.

Morsi has been put on unpaid leave

while the criminal investigation

continues.
