This teacher is still collecting his salary! Unfortunately, teachers having sex with students is a running rampant across the country without a national debate on the topic.
The family of a Bronx teenager who allegedly was raped by her music teacher slapped the city with a multi-million-dollar lawsuit, the Daily News has learned.
Herbert H. Lehman High School instructor Brian Kearins, 34, was arrested and charged with statutory rape in June after the victim's sister found a string of incriminating emails between him and the 15-year-old student.Kearins, who's married with two young sons, ruined the girl's life with their illicit sexual relationship, said attorney Robert Vilensky, who filed the suit this month on behalf of the girl and her family."It's had a terrible impact on the girl," said Vilensky, who spoke on behalf of the girl and her family. "She's lost confidence in herself and has low self-esteem from the events. It's damaged her relationships."Vilensky said the lawsuit would be seeking “in the millions.”Kearins, an aspiring rocker who wails on his guitar in YouTube videos and wore a Bon Jovi t-shirt to court, pleaded not guilty to the charges and is free on bond.More here
