New York Teacher Guilty of Rape of Male Student - Update

(White Plains, New York) Religion teacher formally at Archbishop Stepinac High School, Amanda Isles (aka Amanda Iles), pleaded guilty this week to second-degree rape of a 14-year-old student.

Amanda Iles' admission came after she reached a plea agreement with prosecutors that will see her spend up to six months in the Westchester County jail, in addition to nearly 10 years of probation. Iles, 28, will also have to register as a sex offender.[…]

Iles surrendered to police in November after she was accused of sexual encounters with the boy on several occasions over four days at her 118 Grand Blvd. home in Eastchester, just days after the end of the school year.

The rape came to light after the parents of the boy, who lives in Yonkers, learned of the encounters and contacted police, who later uncovered videos and photos of the sex. Iles resigned from her position at the school just days before the encounters began.

Sentencing is scheduled for May 27.
