Cougar Tutor Turns Seductress With Student

Oct. 28, 2010— -- In the decade since teacher Mary Kay Letourneau was sent to prison for her affair with a sixth grade boy, countless other "cougar" educators turned predators have made headlines.

Their inappropriate behavior typically takes place behind closed doors, but what if it was played out in public? What if a cougar tutor made flagrant advances to an unwilling young student in a cafe? Would anyone step up and come to the rescue of a young boy in need?

The hidden cameras of ABC News' "What Would You Do?" were cached in Dominick's Bakery & Cafe in Staten Island, N.Y., to find out. With actors Mia Price playing the role of cougar tutor and Zach Meliani portraying an underage student, the cafe was the setting for a steamy math tutoring session.

Zach was reviewing his textbooks when the cougar tutor entered the restaurant. She took off her blouse, exposing a slinky pink top, and immediately had a captive cafe wide audience. She began the tutoring session by massaging the boy's neck and shoulders and running her fingers through his hair.

Once their food order arrived, she sampled a pastry and told her young charge, "Oh, my God, this is better than sex."

Three women seated at a nearby table looked concerned, but didn't initially step in. However, as soon as the predator headed for the restroom, one of the women, Joanne Felice, turned to the boy and asked him, "Are you OK? "

He shyly replied, "I don't know what to do because I'm supposed to, she's my tutor, like she's going to be my teacher next year and my mom hired her. But, like, she wants me to go back home and study at her house."

Felice told him, "I don't think she's acting right. For an adult, she shouldn't be acting that way."

The cougar returned to the table. When Zach left for the restroom, the women laced into her.

"You're embarrassing him, and he went into the bathroom because he's uncomfortable," said one of the diners, Kathy Zito.
