"Bad Teachers" Episode Eleven: Sandra "Beth" Geisel

0:10 Hey everyone, and welcome back to Exposed Scandalous Files of Elite. I'm your host Jim Chapman, and we are back with another episode of Bad Teachers. This our eleventh episode, and today I'm going to tell you about the exploits of Sandra Beth Geisel, who went by Beth Guysel So. Beth Geisel was a forty two year old English teacher at Christian Brothers Academy in Colony, New York when this incident I'm about to tell you about took place in two thousand and five. Now, Christian Brothers Academy was a very prestigious private school in that area, and Beth accepted the job as the English teacher at the school because her teenage son was a student there and she liked the idea of being around her soon to be adult son.

1:07 Beth was a mother of four children, including that son, and she was still married but had separated from her husband, who was a prominent bank president in the New York area. Incidentally, they had separated the year prior to this incident. So we're going to go back to that prior year, which was two thousand and four, because this is when the problem seemingly started to service for Beth Guisel, at least publicly. It was December eighteenth of that year that Guisele was arrested for DWI. Her blood alcohol level was more than twice the legal limit at point one eight and two days later she pleaded guilty to a reduced charge of driving while impaired. She was fined three hundred bucks and her driver's license was suspended for ninety days. Now, at the time of her arrest, Guys actually admitted to being on the way to pick up her young daughter. So right there, you get a good indication of her bad decision making, right trust me, it gets worse as we go along. And it's interesting to note that although the school was aware of the arrest, they took no action as it relates to guys Aline considered it an isolated incident.

2:34 So time goes on, and in February of two thousand and five, Christian Brothers Academy students they travel to Florida for a school trip. And I'm going to tell you about that trip later, but allegedly police discover that Beth Guysel provided them on that school trip with alcohol, among some other things that you're going to hear about Then, on June eleventh of two thousand and five, a neighborhood resident calls police after noticing a parked car in that neighborhood that looked suspicious. So police respond to this call and in the back seat of the car they discover a partially nude Beth Guysel and a fully nude seventeen year old student, along with a bottle of banana flavored rum sitting next to them. However, police at the time they determined the student was actually seventeen years old, which was the legal consent age in New York at that time, and after calling the boys father to come pick him up, they send guysel on our way. Then, of course, as you would expect, the news gets around the school, likely because the boy was telling his friends about it, and a week later, school officials fire Beth Guyseles from the school and they even sent a letter out to parents regarding the incident. And this happens in many cases that

4:07 I've covered here on bad teachers. Once word gets out, people come forward, and in this case, a sixteen year old boy, at the urging of his parents, he comes forward and he reports to police that he had two sexual encounters with Beth Geisel. The sixteen year old, told police that they had sex, the first time on May fifteenth of two thousand and five in the teacher's home, and the second time just two weeks later, on May twenty eighth of two thousand and five, this time in the press box at the school's football field. He also told police that quote, she told me that she knew it was wrong, but she had been thinking about me for a while. He further told police, we then took our clothes off and we had sex. The sixteen year old then completely Healy shocked police when he said he took turns with another student who was seventeen as they ran a train on Guysel. And I definitely want to note that between the time that Guysel was fired from the school and the sixteen year old student was singing his song to police, Guisel moved from New York to Summit, New Jersey very quickly within the same week. That's not something people who aren't guilty do. And if you'll remember, at the start of this I mentioned a Florida school trip in which Beth allegedly provided alcohol to students. Well,

5:41 I'm going to go ahead and detail that for you, so on June twenty seventh of two thousand and five, a letter from quote concerned parents and that's how the letter was signed, was sent to the board of Christian Brothers Academy, and it accused Guisel of being so irresponsibly intoxicated during that trip that she was unable to stand and four high school juniors had to carry her back to her hotel. Now imagine that you have a fucking teacher. The letter went on to say after the trip that students were circulating pictures of Beth Geisel in a scantly clad bikini posing with some of the teens in their bathing suits while she had her hand on one of the teen's buttocks. So, before we go any further, it's very important to note and after I note this, I'm gonna explain to you why. But I need to note that Sandra Beth Geisel was extremely attractive and in addition, was very voluptuous, very large breast that I don't think were God given. Now why does this matter? Well, it's two First, when you're a teacher and you're drunk around a bunch of testosorin fields sixteen seventeen year old boys in a scantly clyad bikini and you have let's just say,

7:13 very ample breast bursting out of sub bikini. That's intentional and that's premeditated. Second, the looks matter because of the sentences these attractive teachers get versus those that society may consider not as attractive. It's totally skewed. Actually, and you'll see why I bring all this up at the end of this one. But the reason I mentioned all of this is because a couple of times in the podcast ratings, a couple of listeners kind of came at me a little bit and accused me of focusing too much on the looks, that the looks didn't matter. Well, all I can say to you is if you don't get it, I can't help you any further. The looks do, sadly matter.

8:06 In the statistics show the better looking that you are, the easier sentence that you get. It is a fucking fact. So I'm going to continue to raise awareness to that fact, whether you like it or not. So I'll just continue with this one now. Also in that letter these concerned parents, they mentioned that Guise would frequently have what they termed as closed door visitations with a handful of boys in her office. In this office contained no windows, so anything, in their opinion and the point that they're making, could have been going on in that office, and honestly probably was.

8:55 So while police are gathering evidence for the incident with that's sixesixteen year old in July two thousand and five that was reported, Geisel checks herself in to alcohol rehab. Then one month later, on August first of two thousand and five, Beth Guysel was finally arrested by police, and she was charged with two counts of third degree rape in two counts of endangering the welfare of a minor, all of those charges being related to that sixteen year old student. Now, also during the investigation, it was discovered she had sex at different times with at least three seventeen year old students and the sixteen year old, but did in New York's law at the time, making the age of consent seventeen, there was no separation because you were a teacher didn't matter. Technically, anybody seventeen years old that she had sex with she had no ramifications for, thus no charges. Now, considering her charges included two counts of third degree rape, her baill was pretty shocking to me.

10:18 She actually posted bail the next day on a dismal twenty thousand dollars bail, and for these charges she was facing sixteen years in prison. Each charge carried a four year prison sentence, so her bail conditions consisted of several things. She had to observe a ten pm to six am curfew, She could have no contact with any students from the school, she had to undergo psychiatric and substance abuse evaluations, and she would not be allowed to leave the state of New York, which was kind of a problem for her because she moved to New Jersey, but she did get a hotel room in New York to abide by the conditions of her bail. And it was also during this time that investigators were struggling to locate Geisel's husband, who was the bank president of a large bank in New York.

11:19 They did discover that even though Beth and her husband were separated, he was paying her one thousand dollars a month as per an arrangement, and he had custody of the children, though she had an arrangement with him where she would see the kids several times a week. Eventually, her strange husband did agree to meet with investigators, and he was never suspected of knowing anything about any of this. So on August nineteenth of two thousand and five, just nineteen days after her arrest, Geisel again provides unamazing display of her bad judgment when police pull her over in a drug plagued neighborhood in Aubany, New York with a complete stranger that police actually watched her pick up at eight point thirty in the morning, completely shitfaced, and she was again arrested, this time for her second DWI. It was also discovered that she left her two youngest children, who she had visitation with at the time, alone at that motel she was staying at while she left on an apparent bender, and those kids were nine and twelve years old at the time. Apparently they were awakened by a fire alarm. This was at six am that morning, and had called another family member to come and get them.

12:50 And her blood alcohol content was tested for this second DWI and registered at point one three, So she was very drunk. So it's back to jail for Guysel, and she was pretty destroyed about that, so distraught, in fact, she was placed on suicide watch and I find it interesting that on her jail intake form she listed her employment as a writer, not sure what that was all about. And of course, because she violated the conditions of her bond, her bond was revoked and she had to sit inside a jail cell until her hearing, and that hearing does take place on September two of two thousand and five, and during this hearing, Gouysel actually waives her immunity and she testifies on her own behalf for two hours, which huge mistake on her part, because when you testify on your own behalf to a grand jury, you wave your right to any protection of your testimony being used against you in a criminal trial. Should you get what's none is a true bill indictment, so Geyisel initially, which in this case she does get indicted, and initially Gozle plays hardball while she's awaiting her trial, and she attempted to turn the tables on prosecutors as well as her lawyer, who in a radio interview actually insinuated that the sixteen

14:24 year old may be criminally liable. Her lawyer also stated that Gosele was too drunk to give consent and that the sixteen year old who was at her home, took advantage of her in her drunken state and essentially raped her. Now, of course, this is total bullshit, but a great example of the lows that people will stoop to in order to get themselves out of trouble. Nonetheless, I mean flipped it completely around. But Beth Goeisel's charade did not last long.

15:05 Eventually she did see the light, and on September twenty seventh of two thousand and five, she takes a plea deal and she pleaded guilty to one count of third degree rape and was sentenced to just six months in jail after being found guilty. In her attorney, he said the only reason she even pleaded guilty was to avoid a media circus. Now, of course the prosecutors, they came under fire after this ridiculous deal, and they actually make a piss poor attempt at attempting to defend that sentence, saying she will be in jail and she will have to register as a sex offender upon leaving jail, which, yeah, registering as a sex offender is a big deal, and her time spitting jailed to me is kind of ridiculous.

16:04 So it's off to prison for Guyzle, but not for long due to her time served prior to being found guilty. Police release Beth Guisel from prison just one fucking month later. A reporter for the New York affiliate WRGB he said that Guysele looked fresher and less hungover, and he also reported that she told the court, I recognize my mistakes and I'm sorry take full responsibility. Her attorney added, the sixteen year old is the victim in a statutory sense only.

16:47 He certainly was not victimized by you in any sense of the word. You misunderstood attention as affection and failed to realize that you were being manipulated and sexually abused, and you became the playmate. He further added, they demeaned and sometimes ridiculed you, putting your calls on speakerphone. They considered you a playmate. You sensed and you knew what was going on, but you did not extricate yourself, even though you had a son at the same school and in the same grade. The statement that that attorney made pissed off that the boy's parents the victims in this case.

17:29 The accuser's attorney said, the family is disappointed with the judge's statement that miss Guisele was a victim in this situation and that she was, in fact the one sexually abused. That statement to them is an outrage, and no shit, it is an outrage. It's disgusting that an attorney would even say that. Then, on November thirtieth of two thousand and five, one of the teen boys breaks his silence and said that Gisele was a friend and that you have sex with That was his quote. The teen said his three month affair with Beth Gysel began on a bus after a school ski trip in the previous winter when he was seventeen years old. He said, we did some things on the back of the bus. That's where it all started. He estimated the two had sex ten to eleven times, including in his bedroom. He told Inside Edition, I don't know if I loved her. That's a strong word.

18:31 She was a good friend to me, a friend that you have sex with. Michael said he ended the affair when he met a girl his own age. Michael said, Guysele never said the affair was wrong, just quote crazy. I agree with that, but I would say it's wrong too. Beth Geisel, Michael's mother, expressed disappointment in her son, saying he knows right from wrong and I raised him better than this. Michael's mother said it was wrong of the judge to portray Gysel as a victim, and she is most angry with Geisel. She said, I just wanted to take her by the face and just punch the living heck out of her, unquote. So we're going to fast forward a little bit, as a matter of fact, a lot of bit to nineteen years later. This is in January of twenty twenty four, and a civil trial gets scheduled to begin in which three teenage boys, which at this time are in their thirties, they're seeking compensation from Guysel, who now goes by the last name Rogers. And the way that they were able to do this was New York lifted a statute of limitations on sex crimes involving miners.

19:49 So that is also how some of Ditty's showing Ditty Combe's cases that we're very very old are now able. These lawsuits are now able to service because they lifted these statute of limitation laws. Now, in this lawsuit, they allege Rogers was a sexual predator and that the school was negligent for not preventing what happened. So this lawsuit starts progressing and Rogers, who is Beth Geisels She goes by Beth Rogers. Now she has to be deposed, and in that deposition, she says she suffered two strokes and lives in a small rural community in Arkansas where she grew up. She testified that she suffered that stroke in twenty twelve and experienced another one later that would require heart surgery, which she underwent in twenty twenty three. Rogers acknowledged that what she had done was wrong and that she was quote committing a crime. Rogers said during the deposition, I was under the influence. It's not an excuse but an explanation of some sort of alcoholism, a major addiction to alcohol. It is what it is, she said. Addiction affects people differently. It's a medical condition, and it affects your mind and body, so you're being affected when you're in that state. It also affects your decision making and discerning.

21:18 I would say, of all things, common sense, emotional stability, the whole nine. Rogers trying to lay some responsibility on the boys that she acknowledged having sex with She said, I'm not blaming them, but the version of being I don't know how to say this without it sounding I don't know how to say it. I was flirted with and talked to in that way a lot. This is why I pleaded guilty to what happened, because I'm not in denial about what happened. It was very stressful for me personally because that's not my character of what I would ever want to be or do. So again, she's doing what narcissists do and people that rape kids do.

22:08 She's blaming it on these teens and basically saying, well, they were flirting with me, and I just couldn't take it anymore. Roger said that her alcoholism had begun to spiral out of control. Her DWI arrest that summer was the second INNY year. She testified that she had taken any depressant medication off and on over the years, and had last worked as a part time yoga instructor in twenty twenty two, which, incidentally, y'all, I came across some current pictures of her related to her yoga instructing, and I'll upload those on the Patreon page along with several other files you may find into Resting and look, I got one more thing for y'all today. This is a little different. When I'm researching these episodes, a lot of times I'll come across other future episodes and I caught in this rabbit hole that I can't get out of. Right. Well, when I was researching the other day for an upcoming Bad Teachers episode, I actually came across something and it doesn't involve teacher students, but it does involve teacher, and I'm like, I have got to read these to my listeners.

23:20 I knew y'all would like this. It's just wild and it involves a principle of a New York school. So I'm gonna reference the two articles that I have because they really paint the best picture. And this took place in May of twenty fourteen, when an article came out in the New York Post and the headline says principle removed after sex in school probe. A Queen's principle was yanked from her school amid shocking allegation she had sex with a guard, an assistant principle, and a parent, had trust in school while classes were in session, and had photos of her sex capade's on department laptops. Annie Schmaltz Cephala, thirty five principle of the seventh to twelfth grade Robert Wagner's Secondary School of Arts and Technology in Long Island City, New York, was escorted from school Thursday as an investigator seized computers and other electronics from her home and office. Quote.

24:22 We are appalled by the disturbing allegations and acted swiftly to remove the principle while the matter is under investigation. This from a Department of Education spokesman. This type of behavior is completely unacceptable for any employee, they said. Her sudden removal comes after a romance gone bad with a student's dad. The angry ex turned over three Department of Education laptops he obtained while living with Cephala, including MacBooks containing photos of her and racy lingerie and in various sex acts, including a threesome. Now this angry former student's dad also gave investigators a video and audio tape in which a woman he identified as Sephala acknowledged engaging in oral sex with an NYPD school safety agent in the school security office and with a visiting assistant principle in a book storage room during school hours. I don't know what I was thinking. I don't know why I thought it was okay, she told the furious dad in the tape conversation after he accused her of cheating on him.

25:38 Then you hear him in the tape say, quote, you gave him a blowjob while my child was in the building. Unquote. The dad, a forty meter entrepreneur, also gave excerpt from a letter he says Cephala wrote, admitting she hooked up twice with what she called an old lover. The second time was a visit to my school that led to a sexual encounter, which included a brief oral sex in a hidden location, the letter stated. The dad, whose name is being withheld to protect his child's privacy, said he came forward because Cephala, the mother of a toddler son, played me for a fool. Miss Cephala clearly used her power and position as a principal to seek several sexual partners at her school. He charged. This racy photo of Cephala was found on her school computer. The principal helped the dad financially, once giving him ten thousand dollars plus five hundred dollars and three hundred dollars money orders. Her salary is one hundred and thirty six thousand dollars a year.

26:50 On April eleventh of twenty thirteen, she testified in Queen's Family Court as a character witness for the dad in a custody battle. She spoke as both his child's principle and his girlfriend. So far our relationship has been discreet and people don't know about it, she testified, insisting that his child would get no special treatment. City police does not forbid educators from dating colleagues or parents of students. However, if favoritism or mistreatment occurs, the employee could be cited for a conflict of interest. Having sex inside a school or placing sexual images on school equipment could lead to misconduct charges. An insider said it was highly unusual for a principle to be removed pending a probe and indicates the allegations of extreme misconduct. But on a Facebook post last July, she posted a photo of herself with the father, naming him and declaring with a heart icon, a single dad walked into the office of my school and swept me off my feet. Cephala took down her Facebook page after The New York Post called to ask about the scandal.

28:01 I can't talk without permission, she said. Cephala filed for divorce last summer and moved in with the student's father. They split up in March in a divorce it is pending, and then just the next day this article came out. Second principal booted amid school sex probe. A Bronx assistant principle has been booted from his post for traveling to a queen's school allegedly to have sex with the principal there. As sex between the pairs surfaced on Tuesday. Danny Velasquez, an assistant principal, has been reassigned pending a city department probe into his alleged sexcapades with Annie Cephalop, which were reported first by The New York Post. Cephala, principle of Robert Wagner's Secondary School of Arts and Technology, had already been reassigned amid the shocking allegation she had sex with two men, including Velasquez, at her school during class hours.

28:59 Cephala's ex boyfriend, the dad of a student at her school, described for the Post alleged raunchy text between Cephala and Velasquez, including one in which he wrote, next time I want to fuck you in the office unquote. Cephala allegedly responded, first, you have to unquote. Cephala flatly denied the allegations, telling the Post on Tuesday she never had sex inside of the school and is simply the victim of her acts who used her money and then exposed her kinky hobbies when she quit paying his way. The Queen's School principle said her jilted ex lover was trying to produce a reality show about his life. I thought he loved me and he was protecting me, she said. The reality was I was being played for a fool. Cephala said he hacked into her computers and cell phones to stir up drama as part of a sixty thousand dollars development deal he was supposed to have with Bravo, But when he allegedly found text messages between Cephala and Velasquez that suggested they had sex at the school, along with pictures of her engaged in sex acts, she said her ex threatened to expose her. She wound up giving him eight thousand dollars to pay for rent and child support for his kids.

30:18 I consider going to authorities and lawyers about everything, but I was just so afraid of all the threats he made against me and how it ruined my life and ruined the life of everyone that I knew if I didn't keep supporting him, Cephala said. When she finally ended the relationship, the scorn X approached investigators with lud photos and text messages he allegedly found on her Department of Education issued sell fudes and laptops, claiming she got down and dirty at the school. The X turned over audio and video in which a woman identified as Cephala admitted to engaging in oral sex with a school safety agent and Velasquez an bookstores room during school hours. She said she was forced to say those things, which she claim never really happened. Cephala is a strange from her husband, she said. The last as isn't married, and oh what a fucking mess that was. But I thought you would get some entertainment out of that. And it's a little more light than students have in sex with teachers. At least these are consenting adults. But man, three guys right there in the school crazy, And that's all I got
