Brooklyn ‘sex’ teacher’s husband wants a divorce: source

Here’s humiliated husband Jimmy Lathrop stalking out of Brooklyn Criminal Court yesterday two steps ahead of teacher-wife Erin Sayar, who was released on $10,000 bail on charges she repeatedly had sex with a 16-year-old student.

And the furious spouse of the horny high-school teacher is shopping for a divorce lawyer, The Post has learned.

“He’s very angry. He’s very embarrassed,” a source close to Sayar’s husband said yesterday. “He’s already talking about getting a divorce lawyer. I don’t think this marriage will last.”

Lathrop, 39, was seething in court yesterday, where his wife was arraigned for statutory rape and he later bailed her out of jail.

The cuckolded spouse sat in the front row in court and didn’t react as 36-year-old Sayar — the mother of their young daughter — mouthed the word “hi” to him as she was brought in.

He listened as prosecutors told judge Kevin McGrath that Sayar’s private-tutoring sessions with James Madison HS football player Kevin Eng turned physical on Dec. 7, 2011.

“She kissed him on the mouth in her office,” said Brooklyn Assistant District Attorney Serena Horowitz.

For a month afterward, “there were eight instances of sexual intercourse and oral sex,” Horowitz said.

Five of the encounters took place in Sayar’s SUV, and three occurred “brazenly” in Sayar’s school office.

Sayar and Eng, then 16, exchanged 3,856 texts and nearly 20 phone calls during their illicit affair.

A source said that the texts were “sexual in nature, and confirmed the level of their relationship.”

The sheer number of exchanges, said a source, convinced Lathrop that something went on between his wife and Eng.

Sayar has been charged with statutory rape, marijuana possession and a slew of other charges.

Sayar allegedly plied Eng with pot that she kept in a filing cabinet.

In court, the judge issued an order of protection for Eng, who is now 17 and still at James Madison.

Sayar spoke only briefly at the hearing, meekly answering “yes” when the judge asked if she understood she was not allowed to text, talk to or contact Eng.

Her lawyer, Virginia Lopreto, blasted the charges, calling the timing “very suspicious,” and noting that Eng had been suspended for allegedly selling pot on school grounds.

Eng’s onetime girlfriend — who became wary of Sayar’s relationship with him and reported it to school officials — had once been “hospitalized as emotionally unstable,” Lopreto claimed.

Eng’s lawyer, Bruce Baron, later returned fire, noting: “While it is a ridiculous defense to a statutory-rape charge . . . it would be a welcome addition to a defamation lawsuit.”

After the hearing, Sayar posted $10,000 bail through celebrity bail bondsman Ira Judelson. Her husband and brother each put up property as collateral.

Her husband “gave her the silent treatment as they left,” a source said.

Sayar, showing off arms full of tattoos, later played with her daughter on their Park Slope stoop and said “I’m really happy to be home.”
