When a Maynard High School teacher gave three students his used Ford Mustangs, bought them dinner or invited them to his home, it should have raised alarm bells, say school officials in nearby towns.
Maynard High School teacher Joseph Magno, 65, is accused of sexually abusing a 17-year-old student when the boy was in eighth grade and a sophomore.
Magno’s attorney, Donald DeMayo of Lexington, said Magno was close friends with the boy and his family and that Magno gave the alleged victim a Ford Mustang and vacationed with them in Florida after the rape was alleged to have occurred.
DeMayo has said his client is simply a generous man who took a personal interest in his students.
