A former Long Island teacher sentenced to jail Friday for bedding a student was re-arrested Saturday on charges she wrote letters to the victim from jail, violating a court order, police said.
Nassau County cops said they picked up Heather Kennedy, 26, at her home in Massapequa in the middle of the night and charged her with three counts of criminal contempt.
Kennedy was first busted in March 2008 on charges she had sex with a 16-year-old boy in the school parking lot.
Even after she was busted, the romance continued, though, and Kennedy was hit with a second batch of charges in July.
She apologized at her sentencing Friday, where a judge gave her six months in jail for statutory rape and yanked her teaching license.
It's unclear when or how cops learned about the letters that she allegedly wrote to the teenager from the county lockup.

The law is out of order, people 16 have the right to have sex with who they want. I think at 13 you have the right to choose who you want to have sex with.
ReplyDeletePerhaps they may think they know who they want to have sex with, but that doesn't make it right. At sixteen, many of us didn't know what, who or where we wanted to be from one day to the next.
ReplyDeleteAt thirteen you're a pre-teen, a child and having sex with an adult is against the law and it's wrong. Period.
