A janitor at James Madison High School in Brooklyn got a surprise on November 20th when they walked into what they thought was an empty classroom and allegedly found two female teachers undressed and in a romantic embrace. Students were attending a talent show in the schools auditorium while the teachers were having their romantic romp.

Busted was French teacher Cindy Mauro, 33 and Spanish teacher Alini Brito, 29, who is married to a man.

The teachers and the husband of Ms. Brito have remained mum on the issue.

Students, however, were excited upon hearing the news, forming a Facebook group that already has more than 500 fans to discuss the incident.  As one would expect from teenagers, the students were quite enthusiastic about the story.

Although the school and the accused remain silent, the school system has confirmed that there is a probe.

At time of writing the poll on the New York Daily News site asking what the punishment for the teachers should be has:

• 41% of voters saying they should be fired
• 11% of voters saying they should be suspended for the rest of the school year
• 11% of voters saying they should be given warnings
• 36% of voters saying that no punishment is needed

New York Daily News has all of the juicy details.
