CREEPY ROMEO ON TAPE

Asst. principal, 54, eyed teen

A city assistant principal who boasted, “I haven’t gotten caught for anything,” was caught apparently trying to seduce a female student who secretly recorded his creepy come-ons, The Post has learned.

Georges Mathieu, 54, an assistant principal at Manhattan Bridges HS in Hell’s Kitchen, is heard on tape pressuring a resistant 17year-old senior to meet him outside school so they can “spend time” together and see “if things can blossom.”

“My philosophy is this — if you think it’s good, go for it,” he says.

“Honestly, I shouldn’t be thinking like that, but I don’t want to be like a hundred years from now thinking I should have . . . Life is short — you got to enjoy it.”

The city Department of Education has bounced Mathieu — who collected $130,600 in salary and $20,500 in overtime last year — to a disciplinary rubber room.

The office of the Special Commissioner of Investigation for city schools has an open probe, a spokeswoman confirmed.

Mathieu’s conduct came to light in March when the teen confided to a teacher and counselor that he was sexually harassing her. She turned over a tape of one conversation so officials would believe her, a staffer said.

When asked about the accusations, Mathieu said, “That’s incorrect,” but would not elaborate. “I got to go,” he said, and hung up.

On the recording, obtained by The Post, the girl rebuffs Mathieu’s advances while prompting him to explain his aggressive pursuit.

The girl says she won’t give Mathieu the address where she works after school “be- cause you can’t go.”

“You’re the administrator, and I’m a student,” she says. “If somebody finds out, what’s going to happen to me?” “Nothing,” he says. “Oh no, everybody’s going to know — and people are going to laugh at me . . . People are not stupid.”

“Listen,” he says. “I haven’t gotten caught for anything I’ve done in life, and I’ve done things you shouldn’t do.”

A Manhattan Bridges junior told The Post that Mathieu made her uncomfortable last year. She met privately with him to complain about an older boy she had rebuffed who was calling her “a slut” around school.

“He asked me who I lost my virginity to, and why did I have sex with that person,” she said.
