Boca Raton resident Carol Flannigan, a music teacher at a Boynton Beach public school, not only slept with an 11-year-old former student, but also had a sexual relationship with the boy’s father at the same time, according to a deposition filed this week in Palm Beach County Circuit Court.
The boy’s father says in the deposition that he had the same sort of sexual relationship with Flannigan, 50, that former President Bill Clinton had with Monica Lewinsky. But the document refers only to oral sex and points out a red dress that may or may not contain a DNA sample.
The father said he met Flannigan for the trysts at his home, the movies and once on a college campus. “I wouldn’t call it romantic,” he says in the deposition that makes reference to occasional meetings for sex.
Flannigan, a music teacher in Rolling Green Elementary in Boynton Beach, is awaiting trial on one count of capital sex assault on a child under 12 and one count of lewd or lascivious assault stemming from her alleged relationship with the man’s son. The first count carries a mandatory life sentence.
Mike Edmondson, spokesman for the Palm Beach County State Attorney’s Office, said Friday he “could not and would not” confirm whether the father would be charged with any crimes based on the deposition.
“Because this case is going to trial, ethical rules prevent us from commenting at this time” Edmondson said.
Flannigan’s attorneys, Kenneth Ronan and Charlotte Danciu, questioned the boy’s father in the deposition. Ronan, contacted Friday for comment, said, “This is just the tip of the iceberg.”
The deposition contains a variety of other sexually explicit details of the man’s previously undisclosed relationship with Flannigan, including a love letter he wrote to her. “I can’t wait to have you in my arm[s] and to make love to you,” said the father of three in the letter. “I know I can make you feel good all over. I hope we can meet this Saturday.”
In his deposition, the boy’s father also admits to serving a month in jail in 1992 for selling heroin, to keeping unsecured pornographic movies in his home and to accepting at least $800 in checks from Flannigan during the love tryst.
He says in the document that he knew only that Flannigan was dating at least two other men, one of whom she told him about at that time.
Consistent with previous news reports, the father says in his deposition that he believed Flannigan started having sex with his son during sleepovers at their Boca Raton home in 2002.
