Brito, a 30-year-old teacher at James Madison High School, told investigators that the janitor who reported her alleged risque romp was actually witnessing Cindy Mauro administering an insulin shot.

Brito, a diabetic, says she went to Mauro's classroom because she started to feel under the weather and she wanted her colleague to "check her blood sugar," reports The New York Daily News.

According to court documents obtained by CBS affiliate WCBS, the entire episode began Nov. 20, 2009 when the two teachers slipped away during a sing-and-dance competition in the auditorium after Brito says she started to feel the effects of her diabetes.

According to the report quoted by The Daily News, Mauro said she had candy in her office.
