A 46-year-old Indian-American ex-headmistress of a Manhattan prep school, sentenced to two-to-seven years in prison for bedding one of her students in 2007, has surrendered after all her appeals exhausted.[/size][/font][/color][color=#000000][font=Arial][size=3]
Lina Sinha, a teacher in 1996 at the Montessori School that her parents owned and operated, had oral sex with a 13-year-old boy and was found guilty of the crime five years ago, but has evaded the sentence with a wide variety of appeals.[/size][/font][/color][color=#000000][font=Arial][size=3]
Yesterday, with all her appeals exhausted, her lawyer Jerry Shargel pleaded with Judge Carol Berkman to reconsider her sentence because the charges were "exaggerated."[/size][/font][/color]

[color=#000000][font=Arial][size=3]"This is a woman of every advantage, and she preyed on her victim for years," Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Carol Berkman observed yesterday, New York Daily News reported.[/size][/font][/color]
[color=#000000][font=Arial][size=3]
"She hijacked his life as a child," the judge said of the victim, who grew up to be a New York City cop and had compellingly taken the witness stand, describing years of trysts on class furniture and in a field trip van.[/size][/font][/color][color=#000000][font=Arial][size=3]
"She did try to destroy his life," the judge said. "So time has passed, but the victim has not regained the childhood the defendant has stolen for him, and I presume he never will."[/size][/font][/color][color=#000000][font=Arial][size=3]
Sinha had until today remained free on bail, pending appeal, for the five years since a Manhattan jury convicted her of a depraved predation that might never have been exposed.[/size][/font][/color][color=#000000][font=Arial][size=3]
"This case came at great personal embarrassment to him," assistant district attorney Robert Hettleman, chief of the Manhattan DA's child abuse unit, said of the victim.[/size][/font][/color][color=#000000][font=Arial][size=3]
The victim was a Queens-based, 24-year-old rookie in 2007, when he testified against Sinha, and remains a cop serving the public, Hettleman said.[/size][/font][/color][color=#000000][font=Arial][size=3]
Since the conviction, Sinha has been working for various charities, playing tennis and even running the New York City marathon, according to her website, Hettleman noted.[/size][/font][/color][color=#000000][font=Arial][size=3]
But life for the victim and a second boy student -- on whose rape counts the original jury hung -- have been far from fun and games, the prosecutors said.[/size][/font][/color][color=#000000][font=Arial][size=3]
However, Sinha spoke briefly, and tearfully, at the proceedings unappologetic of the crime.[/size][/font][/color][color=#000000][font=Arial][size=3]
"Most people thought I did a very good job," in education, she told the judge. "If you deem it fit for me to go to prison, then that is what I will do," she said. "I have gone through their life savings," she complained, referring to her family.[/size][/font][/color][color=#000000][font=Arial][size=3]
"I have gone through my life savings a long time ago."[/size][/font][/color][color=#000000][font=Arial][size=3]
Sinha tried to argue for a reduction in sentence. She suffers glaucoma and diabetes, and has fainting spells and anxiety problems, Shargel told the judge.[/size][/font][/color]
