A married teacher who performed oral sex on a 14 year-old boy will not be banned from the classroom.

Dori Myers, 29, was only sentenced to ten years probation despite admitting molesting the student ‘on multiple occasions and in multiple locations.’

Myers, who taught at a public school in the Bronx, avoided losing her licence to teach after her lawyer Andrew Stoll said: ‘There is a possibility that she could teach adults now or in the future and we want to preserve that possibility.

‘She still is a talented teacher and has those skills, and I don’t see any reason to destroy her ability to make a living and to contribute to society in a positive way.’




The New York Post reported that Myers was fired from the city’s Department of Education and her job at The New School for Leadership and the Arts in Kingsbridge.

The teacher must sign the sex offenders’ register after admitting a felony criminal sex act on Wednesday – a day earlier than planned.

Myers, who is married to a Rockland County Sheriff’s Officer, was allowed to enter her guilty plea at Manhattan Supereme Court in a bid to avoid the glare of the media.

Prosecutors had wanted her to be jailed for two years, and to lose her teaching certificate.

Justice Michael Orbus, who sentenced Myers, said of her future employment prospects: ‘This would be a matter that any licensing agency will be able to consider, if they choose to do that, and of course any employer.’

He added: ‘This would be a matter that any licensing agency will be able to consider, if they choose to do that, and of course any employer.’

Myers was arrested on January 19 and initially denied any wrongdoing.

She was caught after the boy, who is believed to have been one of her students, told a friend about the abuse.
