FEMALE GYM TEACHER 'RAPES STUDENT 30 TIMES'

Even Rush Limbaugh perplexed by staggering phenomenon

Joe Kovacs

The latest case of a female teacher allegedly having sex with one of her students involves a gym teacher charged with 30 counts of statutory rape of a teen boy, catching the attention of radio giant Rush Limbaugh.

Megan Mahoney, 24, resigned her position as a gym teacher and assistant basketball coach at the Moore Catholic High School in Graniteville, New York, in January amid allegations she had sex dozens of times with the 16-year-old student, including on the Staten Island campus. She was formally arrested and charged Monday, before being released without bail.

Court papers claim Mahoney romped with the teen “on numerous occasions, that is at least two times per week during the period” between Oct. 31, 2013, and Jan. 9, 2014.

In addition to the 30 counts of statutory rape, Mahoney is also charged with four counts of “criminal sexual act” because of mutual oral sex she and the boy allegedly engaged in “at least two times per month during said period.”

WND has been documenting the rash of female teachers having sexual relations with their students in recent years, and Limbaugh said he was perplexed by the seemingly endless parade of women engaged in such activity with their students.

“It’s amazing the number of female teachers,” Limbaugh said on his national radio broadcast Tuesday afternoon. “That’s not supposed to happen, right? That isn’t supposed to be able to happen. This is supposed to be the other way around. It’s certainly not the template. It’s a mystery how this happens.”

“It never happened when I was in school,” he continued. “It never ever happened when I was in school, damn it. Anyway, it’s a sign of the changing times.”

When Limbaugh mentioned Mahoney was facing 30 counts of statutory rape, he noted, “Somebody needs to tell them about this in the NFL.”

The New York Post reported the boy involved, now 17, was unaware of Mahoney’s arrest when contacted by the paper Monday evening.

“I don’t really know how I feel about it,” he said.

He previously told the Post his relationship with Mahoney, a former basketball star at Wagner College, developed after she approached him in the school’s gym and offered to coach him in basketball.

He reportedly boasted about his sexcapades to his friends, who responded by saying, “How awesome – good job.”

The charges against Mahoney are felonies that each carry a maximum of four years in jail.

“We have no comment on the arrest itself, since that is in the hands of the District Attorney and the police department,” Joseph Zwilling, communications director for the Archdiocese of New York, told the Staten Island Advance.

“We will continue to cooperate in any investigation that takes place, and urge anyone with any information to do the same.”
