A HARD LESSON IN $EX ED
Boy wins 750G from seducer teacher
A former high-school football player who had sex with his teacher at Brooklyn’s infamous “Horndog High’’ just netted a $750,000 award for damages.
Kevin Eng was a 16-year-old student at James Madison HS when his tattooed English teacher, Erin Sayar, 36, plied him with pot and seduced him in 2011.
While the married mom was supposed to be tutoring Eng, the pair were having intercourse and oral sex in her SUV and even in her office, where she was accused of keeping a stash of weed in her filing cabinet.
Sayar was initially charged with 50 criminal counts of statutory rape and sex abuse, then copped a plea deal and was sentenced to 10 years probation, stripped of her teaching license and designated a Level 1 sex offender.
Eng’s mom sued Sayar and the city in civil court, citing her son’s emotional anguish over the saga. She lost her $10 million suit against school officials last year, but the teen’s lawyer, Bruce Baron, continued with his case against Sayar.
But Sayar, whose husband left her in 2013, dropped off the radar, Baron told The Post on Tuesday.
The lawyer said he had filed numerous civil motions on behalf of Eng in the past five years, and each time Sayar “didn’t show’’ up to court or didn’t respond to legal letters.
Even her own lawyer had lost touch with her.
“We have had no contact with her in years,” said lawyer Michael Marinaccio, whose firm represented her in the criminal case.
On Aug. 17, a Brooklyn Supreme Court judge, fed up with her failure to respond, ordered a judgment against Sayar totaling $750,000.
“This verdict, along with the punitive damages awarded by the judge, sends a strong message that teachers across New York state should take their position of authority very seriously,” Baron said.
The lawyer said his office has already started looking for financial records that might show what money and holdings the disgraced teacher has.
Reached by The Post on her cellphone, Sayar, now 41 and still living in Brooklyn, claimed that she had no knowledge about the judgment.
“What happened?” she said when asked about the judge’s decision.
“I don’t know anything about that. I can’t talk about it because I don’t know,” she added.
Sayar, who was suffering from cancer during her criminal ordeal, was then asked if she was currently healthy.
“Yes, I am fine,” she said before abruptly hanging up.
Eng and his mother declined to comment Tuesday through their lawyer.
The illicit student-teacher romance came to light after Eng’s girlfriend alerted school authorities.
The Brooklyn high school got its problematic nickname because it has been a hotbed of sexual shenanigans in recent years.
It’s the same school where romance-language teachers Cindy Mauro and Alini Brito were accused of getting naked and having sex in a classroom, and where English teacher Craig Roffman was arrested after thousands of childporn images were found on his home computer.
