James Cunneely, 37, had an affair with his 15-year-old student but says he was abused by his teacher A French teacher who had a sexual relationship with his 15-year-old student has claimed he also had an all-consuming two year affair with his female teacher when he was just 15. James Cunneely, 37, a former teacher at Kittatinny Regional High School in New Jersey, was sentenced to three years in state prison for having sexual relations with a 15-year-old female student. Cunneely, a father-of-three, was arrested in 2007 after a five-month relationship with the girl. He admitted having 15 to 20 sexual relations with the girl - at motels, in his car, and even when her mother was at her home.
