A former English teacher in Albany has been sent to jail after being accused of having sex with a 16-year-old student.
More than an hour after she was schedule to appear 42-year-old Sandra Beth Geisel walked into Colonie police headquarters to face the charges against her.
Police say that on two occasions last May Geisel had sexual intercourse with a 16-year-old former student -- on May 15 at her former residence in Latham and then again on May 28 inside the press box at the Christian Brothers Academy athletic field.
Geisel was fired from her job at CBA after Cohoes police said they found her having sex in a parked car with another one of her students. No charges were filed in that case because the student was 17 years old at the time, which is the age of consent in New York.Link

She posted $20,000 bail today and walked out of court after spending the night in the county jail.
