A Queens teacher who was arrested and fired for taking a 16-year-old student to a hot-sheets motel for a videotaped romp also violated two other boys — inside her school, says a shocking investigative report obtained by The Post.
Tara Driscoll, 35, a former English teacher at Law, Government and Community Service HS in Cambria Heights, pleaded guilty last June to having sex with the minor at the Capri Lynbrook Motor Inn, a 15-minute drive from the school.
But earlier, she brazenly had sex with two other students at the school, where her serial shenanigans were uncovered by girlfriends of the teacher’s pets, the report by schools investigator Richard Condon charges.
SHE’S GOT PROBLEMS: Disgraced ex-teacher Tara Driscoll, 35, faces new trouble after already pleading guilty to sex with a teen in 2011.
The report alleges that after sending flirtatious text messages to one boy, Driscoll called him to her office in October 2010. Upon entering, they began kissing.
She locked the door and put a chair against the knob to secure it. They lay on the floor behind her desk, where she performed oral sex before they had intercourse, the boy told investigators.
Another boy who visited her school office in December 2010 told probers she locked the door and performed oral sex on him.
In March 2011, a girlfriend of a third boy discovered his phone had sexually explicit texts from Driscoll.
“I will f--k you hard like a teacher,” one allegedly read.
She and other girls angrily confronted the teacher.
“I did not mean to, I am lonely, and f--ked up . . . You can beat me up right now,” Driscoll bawled, one girl told investigators. She cried she “needed someone to love,” and “My mom is dying” of cancer.
She also offered hush money.
“I can give you $300 right now . . . I will give you my paycheck for it to go away,” a student quoted her as begging.
The girls took no money and “left the room disgusted,” the report says. They didn’t tell officials because Driscoll — who made $56,700 a year — vowed not to do it again.
It’s unclear if the alleged confrontation and confession occurred before or after March 19, 2011, when Driscoll drove the 16-year-old to the motel.
He recalled watching the NCAA basketball tournament in the room, where she videotaped their sex acts before driving him home. She later bought him a $300 pair of Nike Pewter sneakers because “she was worried about getting in trouble,” the report says.
In May, an employee at another school heard about Driscoll’s misconduct from another girl and alerted authorities.
Initially charged with rape, Driscoll copped to a misdemeanor sex-misconduct charge under a Nassau County plea deal last year and was put on probation for six years.
The probation report noted “a severe problem with alcohol.” Her teacher’s license was yanked. She had to register as a Level 1 sex offender and move from her Bay Shore home because it was close to a school.
Condon referred the case to the Queens District Attorney’s Office. Driscoll could not be reached for comment.

http://www.gadailynews.com/news/national/63897-married-teacher-carrie-shafer-facing-sex-charges-after-being-caught-partially-naked-with-student.htmlA married teacher is facing sex charges after being caught partially naked with one of her students.
Carrie Shafer, 38, from Kentucky, resigned from her job as a biology teacher at duPont Manual High School after being arrested by police in a parked car.
An arrest report revealed the blonde mother-of-two was in a compromising position with an unnamed 17-year-old student from her school in Louisville.
Police said the windows of the car were 'steamed up' and both occupants were partially clothed.
They also found evidence of sex between the pair outside the car, including condoms.
The age of consent in Kentucky is 16 but Shafer is likely to face charges as the boy was a student at the school where she has taught since 2007.
Investigators said they spotted Shafer's car in a disabled parking spot in Miles Park.
When officers approached the vehicle they noticed the windows were steamed up and both occupants were partially naked.
They also noticed a strong smell of alcohol and the teen told officers Shafer had given him beer.
Louisville Metro Police Spokesman Dwight Mitchell said more incriminating evidence was found inside the vehicle: 'There were some articles found that appeared to have been from a sexual act - like some condoms and some wet wipes that were on the outside of the vehicle believed to have been thrown from that vehicle.'
School: du Pont Manual High in Kentucky where Shafer was head of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes. Students and teachers are shocked at the news
The arrest of Shafer, who led the school's chapter of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes, stunned staff and students at the duPont Manual High School.
Student Kyle Peterson says he heard the news from another teacher who was visibly upset: 'A science teacher came in and told the class about her resignation and he was almost in tears because he felt bad for her.
'She's a good person at heart and you can really tell that in her classes. And she cares about her students.'
But police say Shafer may have cared too much for one of those students.
Shafer has been cited with unlawful transaction with a minor regarding the alcohol and illegal parking in a handicapped parking bay.
Police said when they brought charges they were unaware Shafer was a teacher and her lover a student at the school.
Officer Mitchell said: 'There is a provision under the Sexual Abuse Act where if it's a person who exercises authority over an individual, in this case by it being a teacher, it could fall under that and those charges may be forthcoming.'
On the duPont Manual’s Fellowship of Christian Athletes Facebook page, they wrote that Shafer was 'in our thoughts and prayers', but the organization must 'move on'.
She had worked at the school since 2007.
