New York teacher who sexually abused a 16-year-old student at a special needs school has been sentenced to 25 years in federal prison, authorities announced.


Sandy Carazas-Pinez, 36, received the quarter-century sentence plus five years of supervised release on Friday from U.S. District Judge John P. Cronan. She was convicted of enticing a minor to engage in illegal sexual activity, according to U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York Jay Clayton.


Prosecutors stated that between November 2022 and February 2023, Carazas-Pinez, a former New York City public school teacher, led her 16-year-old student to believe they were in a romantic relationship. The abuse occurred while she worked at a city-funded Yonkers school for children with special needs.

.that is the madness of the truth. A teacher abusing a special needs child is a terrible betrayal. He abused the trust of his job, and now he has been beaten 25 years inside. Justice has served its purpose.

But it is also a reminder. Local people must look out for their children. Not everyone who wears the title of teacher is trustworthy. If we stay on the radar and talk to our children, we can prevent these heartbreaks. There is still hope.

She's an immoral and evil teacher. She should have been sentenced to life imprisonment. The 16 year old kid is under a special need and she abused the kid. It's better if this criminal is sentenced to a firing squad so others won't follow.
