Teacher Mandi Weeks Arrested for Allegedly Having Sex With Mentally Disabled Boy 15
It's been quietly lately, with school being out for the summer, but that just gives administrators more time now to investigate all the rumors about teachers having sex with students. The latest one is Mandi Weeks, 27, of Hannacroix, N.Y., who taught developmentally disabled kids at Devereux New York. At right, a picture of Mandi Weeks from her MySpace page.
Here's more on the story from Metro:
Mandi Weeks, 27, of Hannacroix, N.Y., faces multiple charges including two counts of third degree rape of a mentally disabled 15-year-old. The boy is a student at the same school where Weeks taught, Devereux New York, a residential school for children with special needs in the upstate town of Red Hook.
The boy was home on break from the school when the sexual assaults occurred twice in the boy’s Queens home and once in a parking lot, authorities said.
“The victim is believed to have a 50 IQ, making him particularly vulnerable to a teacher who is supposed to have his best interest in mind,” Brown said. The average IQ is 85.
Weeks was “terminated” from her job Tuesday, said John O’Keefe, executive director of Devereux New York.
In Weeks’ MySpace profile, she claims to take the drug Klonopin three times a day. According to Roche, the makers of the drug, Klonopin is a drug usually used to treat seizures and panic disorders. Some side effects include confusion, depression and increased libido.
