Earlier
the
prosecutors
said they were
charging SANDY
CARAZAS-PINEZ
with enticing
a minor victim
to engage in
illegal sexual
activity and
production of
child
pornography.
As alleged in
the
Indictment,
CARAZAS-PINEZ,
a former high
school teacher
in Yonkers,
New York,
enticed one of
her students,
who was only
16 years old
at the time,
to engage in
sexual
activity with
CARAZAS-PINEZ
and further
induced the
same student
to participate
in
live-streamed
sexually
explicit
conduct while
on video calls
with
CARAZAS-PINEZ.
CARAZAS-PINEZ
was arrested
this morning
and will be
presented in
Manhattan
federal court
later today
before U.S.
Magistrate
Judge Robert
W.
Lehrburger.
The case was
assigned to
U.S. District
Judge John P.
Cronan.
In
November 2023
Judge Cronan
docketed: "the
Court modified
the
defendant's
conditions by
adding the
condition that
Ms.
Carazas-Pinez
may not
contact any
former student
outside the
presence of
counsel."
On
April 15, 2024
Carazas-Pinez
was remanded
to jail after
being found to
have made an
"unauthorized
stop at an
elementary
school on
Staten Island,
then on
another day to
a bar "before
going to a
wooded area."
Thereafter
the status
conference
kept being
pushed back,
from June to
July 11 -
which on July
10 was also
adjourned, to
August 28,
based on
counsel's
letter about
"a mental
examination by
our mitigation
expert... to
be conducted
through Zoom."
The
case is US v.
Carazas-Pinez,
23-cr-346
