N.Y. Teacher Charged With Raping Student

By Associated Press

Wed Oct 4, 8:31 PM

NEW YORK - A middle school math teacher was arrested on charges he raped a 14-year-old student when she went to his home for tutoring, police said Wednesday.

Horace Bedeau, a teacher at Intermediate School 392 in Brooklyn, was charged with second-degree rape and criminal sexual acts for engaging in sexual encounters with the student in his kitchen and his son's bedroom in August 2006, according to the city schools' commissioner of investigation.

Another student, a boy, was in the apartment at the time but was separated from Bedeau and the 14-year-old girl, city officials said.

Bedeau's lawyer, Donald Vogelman, said he was innocent.

"My understanding is they did know each other, but he denies having sexual intercourse with her," Vogelman said.

Bedeau, 50, was reassigned to administrative duty during the investigation. The Department of Education said it was outraged and was seeking to fire him.

Students and neighbors were shocked at the charges.

"He was a good teacher," his former student Ebony Paschall said. "He did everything right. He never came on to any student when I saw him."

Bedeau was arraigned on Wednesday night and was being held on $10,000 bail. He could face seven years in prison on each of the charges if convicted.
