NEW YORK (CBS 2) — She’s a 20-year-old woman who allegedly took wild sexual liberties with a 13-year-old boy.

And now, as CBS 2’s John Slattery reports, she is facing very serious charges, including statutory rape.

The 20-year-old is Megan Donovan, and she had no comment on Thursday. The 13-year-old boy, who lives in the Rossville section of Staten Island, is not being identified. His family’s attorney is Louis Diamond.

“The allegation is that there was a formal act of sex, intercourse, with someone under 14,” Diamond said.

The parents of the 20-year-old would not speak of the case.

A source close to the investigation said there were text messages exchanged about what happened, and that the boy bragged about it.

The woman’s attorney, Mark Geiser, told the court the 13-year-old has an active imagination.  He said there were seven people in the house, and there’s no way it could have happened. In Donovan’s upscale Prince’s Bay neighborhood, there was surprise at the charges against her.

“She’s a very nice girl. I’m very surprised to hear that,” neighbor Ron Hansen said, adding when pressed if it’s possible something happened, “I really don’t think so.”

But the attorney for the alleged victim disagreed.

“Obviously, she has a problem to do something like this. People should seek help, if they have these desires,” Diamond said.

If Donovan is convicted, she would have to be registered as a sex offender under Megan’s Law, a black mark that would follow her for the rest of her life.

Donovan was released on $1,000 bond, and ordered to stay away from the child and his family.

    Umm. Where does it say she is a teacher?

  • bigbill

    For that young man….It will never get any better than that.

  • Jim

    I should have had such problems when I was 13.

    • Russ

      LOL – me too. Now if it had been a GUY who did that to him it would be a totally different story – as it should be.

      • Tim Sitomer

        what do you mean “as it should be” your saying that its ok for a adult woman to sleep with young boys, but wrong for a adult man to sleep with young girls?

  • Dr. John

    It did happen to me when I was 13 and then repeatedly through my adult life. I was smart enough to keep my mouth shut the first time and always thereafter. Never a problem.

  • Joe Russo

    Where were these teachers when I was 13??????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    • Crocker

      I had the same thought. I would have kept my mouth shut if I had been lucky enough to have an older lover.

  • bloomberg

    In September 2007, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission filed a class-action lawsuit on behalf of more than 80 female employees, who argue Bloomberg L.P. engaged in a pattern of discrimination against pregnant women who took maternity leave. Michael Bloomberg is responsible for the creation of the systemic, top-down culture of discrimination’ at the company.
    This is the same idiot mayor who says we can’t smoke in the parks.
    I guess shortchanging women is more socially acceptable than smoking.

  • Alfredo Villanueva

    I am sorry. South of the border this would be celebrated, not condemned. Young boys routinely undergo initiation by slightly older females Fathers or older brothers take them to trusted “ladies of the night”. If the boy can do it, he is no longer a boy, he is a man. By the way, the standard does not apply to girls.Only in hypocritical America is this a motive for scandal.

    • Russ

      Not “hypocritical”…. you mean “Politically Correct”.

    • DrK

      Really? Women get married at early ages the world over. By this logic if it’s a “standard’ it’s ok.

      I was an exchange student who was hit on by his host mother. It was exciting but it also left me very uncomfortable and confused.

  • karon cross

    Dosent have to be true. All they have to do is say it and your lifes over. Ask my son.

  • SALIM, Mumbai

    I dont think She did this. She is beautiful. If at all, she can have sex with any handsome boy of her age. And she must be having one.
    Be brave young lady. fight for your respect.

  • Trishe

    The DA in Staten Island must be running for office. these allegation seem to be from text messages, but it does not say who are the parties involved in these messages…the teacher and student or the student and friends. DO NOT CAST STONES UNTIL THE TRUTH IS OUT. .

  • Old but not dead

    Why is a 20 y.o interested in a 13 y.o. and not a 73 y.o. like me who’s financially stable?

    • jj09

      bc thats equally as gross.

      • sinverguenza

        hahahaha!!! hilarious!!!

    • NeS

      Sure they are, just check craigslist

  • Moral Truth

    Ms. Donovan is not guilty and thats the moral truth

    • r.c

      do you k now something we don’t?

  • Daniel P

    Remember the Duke Rape [which never occurred] Case.

    • jtorres

      Remember Mary Kay Letourneau? That case did occur. Repeatedly

      • Evie

        It occurred, two baby girls were produced and she married him when she got out of jail. So yes, you are right, it definitely happens and it isn’t right. And I don’t care what is traditional in other countries, this is America and it’s not okay.

  • Matan

    Yeah, and if it was a 20 year old guy having sex with a 13 year old girl you’d be calling for his balls to be removed – it’s statutory rape, and it isn’t okay.

    • DigitalBob

      That’s great but boys are not girls. Trust me when I tell you he will be just fine except for being too stupid to keep his mouth shut.

      • mari

        i am shocked at how everyone is ok with this! i am a female and im appalled. women can be creeps too. all you people saying youre jealous are pathetic and need help. hopefully this isnt true but i wouldnt be surprised if it is.

      • LuckyKid

        This kid is an idiot!!! He could have kept a good thing going but he couldn’t keep his mouth shut.

        And for ALL you who don’t understand why I’m “ok” with it is.. BECAUSE it is one of the BIGGEST fantasies for a young bio to be seduced by an older woman. Why couldn’t I have been that lucky!

        BTW – I love the auto-refresh on this CBS site and I’m sure their CPM advertisers love it too…NOT!!!!!!

    • lex

      cause a 20 yr old FEMALE cannot RAOE a dude…unless he is passed out…lucky 13 yrd old who was STUPID enough to talk about it!!
      WHERE WERE ALL these teachers (FEMALE) when we were kids? I know, they were there, but WE were not STUPID like these kids to speak about it…lol

  • lawyer for a day

    Prince’s Bay and upscale should never appear in the same sentence together. All flash, no cash.

  • Jack8r

    An event worthy of examination has been turned into a totally unwarranted TV commercial for Lou Diamond. The system has been gamed and the case flawed by the broadcasting of unfounded opinion – not unlike my theorizing that Mr, Diamond is positioning for a book or movie. This is another example of poor reporting. Staten Island has a fine D.A. and the case should be left to his office to handle.

  • franky@nodots.com

    I’d hit that.

    • haywood jablowme

      yeah me too……. how come this kind of thing never happened to me when i was 13……damn

    • kissemall

      I’d rather tap that news reporter “Katherine Johnson” first,…

  • joe

    Unfortunately, even if she is totally exonerated, her life is ruined.

    • Jusss

      No, it won’t be. She is a female and she will be able to work and live elsewhere. If the genders were reversed, however, then your statement would hold true.

      • needa20yrlover

        I say she has a greater chance of finding employment than a male would have..what male dominating company would pass on her as a employee..think of all water cooler conversation and google desktop talks that will go on in that office!!!!

  • Moral Truth

    Everyone here is railroading Ms. Donovan. The police just make an arrest based on a false accusation.

    Where is the DNA test. Once she is vindicated she needs to sue and thats the moral truth

    • T kall

      What do you mean by railroading her? I think the term you are looking for is running a train…hahahaha!

    • jtorres

      First, DNA results take 6 weeks. Also, they don’t work in reverse or after time has passed. And finally, when it comes to sexual assault, all you need is a credible accusation to make an arrest.
      The bail is very low but that could be because it’s a first offense, and she’s not a flight risk. Or she could very well be innocent

  • Anthony

    Megan is a take-off on Mary Kay Letourneau.

  • Yeith Ponia

    I wish she thinks of resettling in another country leaving the tag of being a sex offender rest of her life. I have reservations for her, she is pretty and nice. I wish I had her for life. Give her my contact please.

  • jaybee 5

    The 3rd world would definitely be laughing at you if they realized you in your mind thought that this 14 year old boy having had sex with this lady had somehow been hurt or wronged. You should get these articles off of here or they’ll think twice about affluent nations being the controllers of world policies

  • Alan Foos

    I don’t believe it. Meanwhile, the daughter of a long time family friend was raped by a staff member at a high school. Very likely she isn’t the only one, but not a soul will do a thing. But this woman, no. God will set things straight. You don’t believe in God? You’re in for a surprise.

    • HelpOur

      Submit an immediate call to 311. It can be done anonymously, and provide all details. The Office of Special Investigations will examine it, get statements, and force the issue along. You can also report it to ACS as a mandated reporter if you have intimate knowledge of the crime.

    • joe

      Sorry. Don’t believe in God. And the one in for a surprise…is you.

  • pugphan

    She’s 20 so why is she a woman, she’s under 21. If this was about something else, for instance if she were the victim of a crime, then she would be a young lady or a teen. Sound to me like the kid has fantasies about her, and his pees
    want monieeee E! smokersodysseycom

    • Tommy

      in the united states a person is considered an adult at 18, not 21

      • jewelz

        however their parents are still responsible for them till theyre 21 Thats just not right/

  • Anthony wills

    The laws is you cannot have sex with these kids
