Teacher Accused: Dates Mother, Does Daughter

(Queens, New York) A 44-year-old physical education teacher at MS137, Gerard Cassidy, has been fired from his $83,600-a-year position for an alleged "inappropriate relationship" with a former student, a 16-year-old girl.

Cassidy was reportedly dating the girl's mother when he allegedly made overtures toward the daughter, showering her with gifts and promising to marry her. The daughter claimed Cassidy was also inserting himself into her privacy several times a week at his house.

The daughter later recanted and, along with mom, told Department of Education investigators that Cassidy was merely helping the girl with her homework. Nevertheless, the DOE had heard enough and fired Cassidy.
