Michael Shanley III, a former teacher, has been sentenced to three years probation after pleading guilty to endangering the welfare of an 11-year-old student.

He must undergo a sexual behavior program and adhere to a five-year order of protection that prohibits any communication with the victim or her mother. Shanley's family has deep roots in the Staten Island community, previously connected to Staten Island Academy.
