A former Bronx public school teacher was sentenced Wednesday to 10 years’ probation for performing a sex act on a 14-year-old boy on multiple occasions.
Dori Myers, 29, took a plea deal last month, which Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Michael Obus offered over the objection of prosecutors, who asked for no less than two years in prison.
The ex-social studies teacher at The New School for Leadership and the Arts had been axed by the city’s Department of Education since her last court date.
“Ms. Myers was fired and she is not eligible to work in New York City schools again,” said DOE spokesman Doug Cohen.
The predatory teacher pleaded guilty to one count of felony criminal sexual act as part of the deal and must register as a level 1 sex offender.
Myers’ husband, a Rockland County sheriff’s officer, who usually accompanies her to court, was noticeably absent for Wednesday’s proceeding.
The disgraced teacher was arrested Jan. 19 after the teen told a classmate about their trysts, and the classmate reported it to a school administrator.
The victim had also posted at least one pic on Snapchat cuddling with Myers under the heading “Me and my sexy asssss wife,” according to sources.
Defense lawyer Andrew Stoll declined to comment.
