Just when you think you’ve seen somebody at their stupidest point, they surprise you. And that certainly rings true for 28-year-old Megan Kotarski, a teacher in Chicago is was recently arrested for not only engaging in sexual acts with one of her underage students, but did so at a booze filled party she hosted.
According to report, Kotarski walked over to the male student and grabbed his hand, putting it under her shirt and eventually up her skirt so he could fondle her.
Kotarski, who lives in Oak Lawn, is accused of having sexual contact with the boy between June 16 and 18, police said. She turned herself in at the Harrison District police station.
Police confirmed that the charge against Kotarski stemmed from an investigation that began earlier this month into alleged misconduct by a teacher at Horizon Science Academy Southwest Chicago at 5401 S. Western Ave. in the Gage Park neighborhood.
“As the allegations involved a minor, the school contacted the [Illinois] Department of Children and Family Services and Chicago Police,” Christopher Murphy, director of strategic growth & PR for Concept Schools, said at the time.
The school’s administration began an internal investigation on Nov. 6, Murphy said. As a result of that investigation, Kotarski, who had worked at the school since 2014, officially resigned Nov. 10.
The story continued:
When a 16-year-old reached to adjust the stereo, the teacher grabbed his hand and moved it underneath her shirt, then into her pants, Santini said.
Wearing a black sweatshirt and leggings, with her hair in a long, bedraggled ponytail, Kotarski was silent during her bond hearing.
The party was allegedly thrown by the teacher after students returned from a volleyball tournament during their June break.
