“Mom tells of daughter’s ‘rape’ scheme”

“After walking past her husband’s silent gaze in a courthouse hallway, the woman testified that she knew of plans by her daughter and her husband to frame [teacher] Danny Cuesta, 30, for rape. She said it was part of a scam to sue the North Babylon School District.” NB, however, that the witness is going through a divorce with her husband, and the prosecutors are alleging that the mother participated in the teacher’s cover-up. (Alfonso A. Castillo, Newsday, Oct. 18; AP/WSYR, Oct. 4).

In divorce; schools
