| JOY MORSI |
Joy Morsi, 38, was back in court for the second day in a row after prosecutors hit her with more rape and child endangerment charges for abuses that happened right under her husband’s nose.
A day earlier, prosecutors said the Grover Cleveland High School teacher had been carrying on a months-long affair with a student, and flipped when she learned he was taking someone else to the school prom.
Before she posted bail on the first set of charges, Morsi was warned that another student might be coming forward.
The other shoe dropped, and the Massapequa mom was back for a repeat court performance.
She was joined again by her dejected husband, Hani, a science teacher at the school, who lowered his head during the arraignment, and walked behind Morsi and her lawyer when they left the courthouse.
Morsi has been suspended with pay. She made about $81,000 last year.
“The Department immediately removed Joy Morsi from the classroom upon learning of the allegations,” the education department said in a statement.
“We find these claims disturbing and reprehensible and she will remain reassigned – far from any student and the school – pending a criminal investigation. We will work closely with the school to ensure they are given any needed support.”
Morsi is a tenured teacher, and cannot be fired or stripped of her pay without due process, officials said.
The second student told authorities that he had sex twice with the teacher in the school Saturday.
Prosecutors said the teacher and the first student had sex more than 20 times in the school last year in various places, including the basement and gymnasium.
The affair ended a few weeks ago, when Morsi got “jealous” that her boy toy took a girl to the prom, prosecutors said.
Morsi befriended the boy, a wrestler at the Ridgewood school, when he needed help losing weight to make the school’s wrestling team, according to court documents.
Morsi, in an email, allegedly asked the student if he was a virgin, and he replied that he was.
