A former teacher’s aide has been found guilty of third degree rape and endangering the welfare of a child for having sex with a 13-year-old boy.
At the time, 49-year-old Jennifer Kennard was a classroom aide at East Irondequoit Middle School. That’s where she met the boy and had sex with him at a motel in Greece in 2013.
Kennard was found guilty of rape, but an appeals court threw out her first conviction after ruling some statements she made to Irondequoit Police should not have been admitted in court.
She was retried and found guilty by a Monroe County Court jury today. Kennard will be sentenced August 23rd and faces up to four years in prison. She’ll also be required to register as a sex offender.
