Another High School Sex Scandal
Cited: Daily News
In early December, 2 romance language instructors were caught by a school janitor in an empty Brooklyn high school room in a state of undress. The classrooms were empty because the students at James Madison High School in Midwood were watching a talent show in the auditorium. According to sources, Alini Brito and Cindy Mauro were busy at this time speaking the international language of love.
The janitor stumbled on French teacher Mauro, 34, and Brito, 30, a married Spanish instructor, and tattled to school officials on Nov. 20. Both tenured teachers were removed from the classroom and sent to the Education Department “rubber rooms” while they’re investigated for misconduct, sources said.
The episode is the talk of the school. Students even set up a Facebook group to discuss the shenanigans – and it already has more than 500 fans.
“Now you guys wished we installed cameras in our classrooms after all hmm?” wrote one student.
Janitor Robert Colantuoni refused to comment Tuesday. “I can’t talk about it, I’m sorry,” he said.
Brito’s husband, reached by phone, said he was unaware of the accusations, but denied them.
“The school district has not informed my wife of these allegations and they are untrue,” he said.
Students said both teachers were popular.
“[Ms. Mauro] was pretty fun,” said junior Eddie Ramirez, 18.
“She dressed like a teenage girl – she’d wear low-cut tops, shorts, three-quarter length jeans. She was kinda sexy.
“You could see that she was the kind of person who would flirt.”
Students said Mauro dyed some of her hair pink over the summer and has an array of sexy tattoos: a sun on her lower back, a flower on her leg, and a star on her foot. Brito opted for more demure attire.
“She’s pretty,” said one 17-year-old who took French with her.
“Mrs. Brito was good-looking. Oh, yeah!”
A 16-year-old sophomore said Brito was a teacher students would come to with problems.

“She usually dresses elegant, looks smart,” he said. “She’s good-looking. And she was friendly, not flirty, just friendly.”
Students said gossip about the romp was flying through the school, where staff members were trying to keep a lid on it.
“The teachers don’t even want you to bring it up because they say they’ll get in trouble if we’re talking about it in class,” Eddie Ramirez said.
“They just say, ‘Let it go.’”
Teachers and administrators at James Madison would not comment yesterday, but the Education Department confirmed the probe.
“There was an incident in the evening when there was a school performance,” department spokeswoman Margie Feinberg said.
The two teachers were reassigned pending the outcome of an Education Department investigation.
The teachers, now called the “Horndog High” teachers, might want to dust off their resumes. Both Alini Brito and Cindy Mauro are to be charged professional misconduct according to the city’s Office of Special Investigations. This news comes three months after they were busted naked together in an empty classroom. Department of Education officials said March 30 the allegations have now been substantiated.
The two tenured teachers were yanked from their classrooms and immediately sent to the so-called “rubber room” pending the outcome of an investigation.
“They face disciplinary action,” spokeswoman Margie Feinberg told the News, though she wouldn’t provide details about the incidents.
James Madison High School has became known as “Horndog High” after the scandal was exposed by the Daily News in December. Students even set up a Facebook group to discuss the shenanigans which took place Nov. 20 while they were watching an after-school talent show in the auditorium.
According to sources, it now appears that a third teacher, Allison Musacchio, a social studies teacher, may have had an inappropriate relationship with a male student and is also under investigation.

My Take: It is one thing to have a fling in an office, but in a classroom? Teachers should know better! Teachers know that anyone can walk into a classroom at any time. Yes, I know that might add to the excitement and enjoyment, but when that someone is a child, no! I always thought that teachers stayed in the classroom to clean the chalkboards for the next lesson. In this case, I don’t think they were even thinking about Whiteboards.
I hope those teachers have a good criminal lawyer Englewood CO, because they are going to need it. The reason being, they might be charged with contributing to the latency of minors. And losing their jobs will be the least of their concerns. Do teachers sign contracts before they start teaching in a school? If they do, they may want to hire a West Palm Beach FL contract attorney. But I doubt that it will save their jobs.
Brito may even be looking for Wellington FL divorce attorney, especially now that her husband knows about the affair. Cheating on her husband doesn’t show much for her morals, does it? Teachers are supposed to set an example for their students. What kind of example have these teachers set for their students? If this had been a car accident, they would just contacted Denver car accident lawyer and that would be the end of it. But this was no car accident, it was worse.
