An update in the case of the 44-year-old PTA mom who was found with a 13-year-old boy in the backseat of an SUV—both were naked from the waist down, according to Nassau County police. More charges were added against Joan Tuckruskye because cops now say there were sexual relations. According to Newsday, "Police determined Tuckruskye had sex with the boy by analyzing DNA taken from saliva on the boy's clothes and body. Prosecutors have said in court documents that Tuckruskye admitted kissing the boy. The boy has denied having sex with her." She was already charged with endangering the welfare of a child for the December 2008 incident; now she faces second-degree sexual abuse and second-degree criminal sexual act charges. However, Tuckruskye's lawyer Brian Griffin says the DNA tests were inconclusive. more ›

In December, a 44-year-old Long Island woman was found in the backseat of a SUV with a 13-year-old boy—police said both were "unclothed" from the waist down in the vehicle, which was parked outside the Baldwin Middle School where the boy attends and the woman is VP of the PTA. Now Newsday reports the Nassau County DA wants Joan Tuckruskye's DNA, "after they found a woman's saliva on the body and clothing of" the boy. However, Tuckruskye's lawyer Brian Griffin is trying to block the demand, "We have a legal process. She has rights. The government cannot invade people's privacy without meeting a legal standard," and points out the boy denies that there was sexual contact. Tuckruskye had been charged of endangering the welfare of a child, which as a maximum of a year in jail, but the charges could be upgraded to a felony if she did have sex with him. more ›

Eek: Nassau County police say they found 44-year-old Joan Tuckruskye in the back seat of an SUV with a 13-year-old boy. The VP of the Baldwin Middle School PTA and boy were in the "parked, running vehicle" behind the school, according to Newsday. The police said officers approached the car and "tapped on a rear window." In spite of a foggy window, Det. Lt. Kevin Smith said the officers also "noticed both of the individuals were not clothed from the waist down." The boy first claimed he was 18, but then said he was 15; it was at the hospital where cops found out he was 13. Tuckruskye was charged with endangering the welfare of a child and may face more serious charges "if police determine a sexual act took place." The Baldwin school system issued a statement, "The district is working to maintain a normal and calm school environment for all students while police investigate," but parents were shocked. more ›
