STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- Megan Mahoney, the former Moore Catholic gym teacher and assistant basketball coach accused of statutory rape after an alleged series of sexual trysts with a student, has been barred from having any contact with the teen.
A temporary order of protection forbidding all contact with the now 17-year-old male student was issued at the arraignment of Ms. Mahoney, 24, of New Brighton, on Monday in Stapleton Criminal Court.
Ms. Mahoney, who resigned from Moore Catholic in January, was arrested Monday on charges that include felony counts of rape in the third degree and criminal sexual act in the third degree and a misdemeanor count of endangering the welfare of a child.
The former top Staten Island women's basketball player was released without bail and is due back in Stapleton Criminal Court on Dec. 2 with her defense attorney Eric Nelson.
Ms. Mahoney is accused in court documents of having sex with a then-16-year-old male student of Moore Catholic on at least 30 occasions between last Oct. 31 and Jan. 9.
The victim turned 17 in March and Ms. Mahoney -- who is listed in the police report as his friend/acquaintance -- will be 25 in November.
