Mercedes “Mercy” Liriano — who last made waves when she helped “cancel” the white principal at MS 224 in Mott Haven over racism allegations — used her school address for the raunchy exchanges, according to a report by the Special Commissioner of Investigation for city schools.
The 50-year-old English teacher also asked in a message: “So what are you willing to do n not do?? I ask bc for us we both need to be pleased n would want to please you too. Have u done 3somes before??”
Liriano solicited sex in at least eight emails from December 2016 to September 2017, the report said. The 50-year-old educator's scandalous past saw her send racy pictures of herself, including bikini-clad holiday snaps, in open ended messages looking for a match.
The mom added in one of her seductive emails that she was seeking a threesome, unaware her school email could later track her conversations.
'So what are you willing to do n not do?? I ask bc for us we both need to be pleased n would want to please you too. Have u done 3somes before??' one of the messages read.
'Hello my name is Mercedes aka Mercy. Here are some pictures of me. Hope to hear from you soon,' she said in further email threads.
'Indecent photographs were exchanged, and one of the emails contained pictures of a woman’s vagina and a woman’s buttocks,' the investigation added.
The emails began at roughly the same time school principal Patricia Catania took over at the Bronx elementary. Around two years later, Liriano became embroiled in a controversial race row with the education chief, claiming Catania had told her she wasn't allowed to teach black history to her young students.
After being asked why her students were working on a project for Black History Month, Liriano alleges that she was told by the principal: 'You're an ELA teacher, you don't teach social studies.'
According to a deposition that was filed following the spat, the principal said Liriano flew off the handle after being ordered to avoid the subject.
'Ms. Liriano immediately went on a loud tirade throughout the hallway and main office of the school, screaming words to the effect that I could not tell her she could not teach Black History,' Catania claimed in the deposition.
The former principal also contended that she never made the order, and merely told the teacher she had to have a lesson plan to go ahead with the class. The married Liriano sent bikini-clad photos of herself with a message that said, “Hello my name is Mercedes aka Mercy. Here are some pictures of me. Hope to hear from you soon,” according to the report.
The emails started around the time Patricia Catania took over as interim acting principal of the school. In February 2019, Liriano claimed that Catania told her she wasn’t allowed to teach black history.
Catania contended that she merely told the teacher she needed to have an adequate lesson plan, legal papers say.
“Ms. Liriano immediately went on a loud tirade throughout the hallway and main office of the school, screaming words to the effect that I could not tell her she could not teach Black History,” Catania wrote in a deposition submitted as part of dueling legal claims over the matter. Liriano previously drew attention to herself after orchestrating the removal of a white school principal in a race row over the teaching of black history to her students.
After an ensuing legal battle was launched by the principal, the discovery process unearthed the sleazy emails, leading Liriano to resign from her role as an English teacher.
