The cuckolded husband of a Brooklyn high-school teacher accused of having sex with a 16-year-old student is finally divorcing his wife.
Jimmy Lathrop, 40, who was humiliated when his spouse Erin Sayar, 36, was arrested for allegedly smoking pot and sleeping with a high-school football player, filed the divorce papers in late January, according to court records.
“Mr. Lathrop has full confidence in the judicial system, and hopes for a speedy resolution of his divorce as he moves on with his life,” said Lathrop’s attorney, Todd Spodek, who refused to comment further.
“My husband’s name is still on the lease here. We share a beautiful daughter together,” said Sayar, who wouldn’t speak about the divorce when questioned at her Park Slope apartment.
Sayar was arrested last May and charged with 50 counts of statutory rape and sexual abuse.
A major reason Lathrop wants the divorce is that if Sayar pleads or is found guilty, she’ll be branded a sex offender, said a source close to Lathrop. That would limit her activities with their young daughter because it would prevent Sayar from being around the child’s friends or even visiting playgrounds.
Lathrop has already moved out of the Park Slope apartment the couple used to share, the source said.
The predatory English teacher arranged to tutor Kevin Eng, then just 16 years old, during the same period his football teammates used the weight room next to her office, according to a report by school investigators
Sayar had oral sex and intercourse with Eng at least eight times in her James Madison HS office and in her SUV, authorities have said.
Sayar allegedly even plied Eng with pot she kept hidden in her school-office filing cabinet.
The fast-fingered duo exchanged 3,856 text messages over a 17-day period in 2011 — an average of 227 per day, the investigative report said.
The clandestine couplings were revealed when Eng’s teenage girlfriend spotted them flirting and grew suspicious, the report said.
The girl hacked into Eng’s Facebook account and found messages to Sayar that said, “I love you so much” and “I always loved you, since last year.”
The angry girl gave the messages to school officials, and Eng admitted he had sex with Sayar eight to 12 times, according to the report.
In one midnight hookup, Sayar drove to his house and picked him up in her SUV.
“Eventually, they began kissing and then engaged in sexual intercourse and oral sex inside the SUV,” the report said, adding that the boy described tattoos on intimate parts of Sayar’s body.
While the charges could land Sayar in prison for more than four years, Eng wasn’t exactly shaken up by the ordeal.
The jock boasted about the trysts on Facebook and even crowed about his conquest when he was tossed in detention for mocking the situation, a classmate told The Post last summer.
Lathrop denied the couple was getting divorced last summer, and even flashed a double thumbs up to a Post reporter who asked him about his relationship.
Sayar said she is currently suspended from her job without pay pending the result of the criminal case.
