A Queens high school teacher was arrested Thursday on charges of statutory rape, after officials say she had sex with a teenaged student.Special Commissioner of Investigation Richard Condon says Janmattie Singh, 22, is also facing charges of endangering the welfare of a child.
Singh is an English teacher at Richmond Hill High School. Investigators say she had sex with a 15-year-old male student, and two of his family members.
Officials say the encounter took place off school grounds -- at a location in Brooklyn.
"I was surprised. I mean especially in this school. I didn't expect that," said Richmond Hill High student Ariel Colon.
"It’s surprising, because we come here every day and normally things like this doesn't happen at Richmond Hill. It's just really surprising. I can't believe it," said Richmond Hill High student Nicole Morris.
The Department of Education says Singh has been on medical leave since November, and that her name has now been placed on the ineligible list -- meaning she can never work for the city again.
