A married former teacher who copped to having sex with a 13-year-old student in his family’s Forest Hills home may withdraw his guilty plea — because the sex-offender tag that comes with a conviction could keep him from raising his 15-month-old daughter.
A lawyer for disgraced ex-IS 237 English teacher Daniel Reilly, 36, yesterday said his client might change course and head to trial if he doesn’t get permission to live with his loyal wife and their baby after prison.
Reilly’s gorgeous lawyer wife, Annemarie, showed up in Queens Criminal Court again yesterday to stand by her man — who authorities said had sex with his student at least 10 times in their bed.
“It is our hope that reason will prevail and [state] Probation [officials] will permit him to live with his child,” Reilly’s lawyer, Eric Franz, told The Post.
Franz noted that “the prosecution has not sought [Reilly’s] separation from his child.’’
But “he may have to withdraw his guilty plea if he’s not able to raise his own child,” Franz said.
Reilly had pleaded guilty in May to felony second-degree rape.
Under a deal designed at least partly to spare his young victim a trial, Reilly received just four months in prison plus 10 years of probation.
