(New York City) Earlier today, New York City schoolteacher Tara Driscoll, 33, pleaded guilty to a reduced charge of misdemeanor sexual misconduct involving a 16-year-old male student.
As a result, Driscoll faces probation and loss of her teacher's license.
Prosecutors said the boy's mother found out about the encounter and confronted her son, who admitted it, Nassau police said.Formal sentencing is scheduled for May 22.
"We believe it to be a one-time deal," Nassau police spokesman Det. Vincent Garcia said at the time of the arrest. "She picked him up on the day and they drove" to the motel after having arranged to meet in Queens -- not his home and not at school, Garcia said.
Two law enforcement sources familiar with the case said at the time that video of the encounter was taken on the teen's cellphone. The video along with an interview with the victim and phone records were used as evidence against Driscoll, authorities said.
