A former city principal who was suspended for a year for having sexually graphic pictures on her work computer has settled a discrimination claim against the Department of Education for $210,000, The Post has learned.
Annie Seifullah, now an aspiring civil rights lawyer, claimed her vengeful ex-boyfriend, Robert Sofia, planted the snaps on the device after they broke up — and that the DOE wrongly sought to sack her.
While an arbitrator refused to terminate her outright, he slapped her with a yearlong suspension without pay for unbecoming conduct — including sexting on the job.
Rather than see the lurid case go to trial, the DOE opted to settle the matter.
Seifullah was removed from Robert Wagner Secondary School of Arts and Technology in May 2014 after Sofia — who was PTA president — gave several of her DOE laptops to investigators.
He also reported that she was brazenly sexting other DOE staffers while on the job, which the DOE confirmed.
Seifullah denied additional accusations that she had sexual relations at the school, and was never charged with that misconduct.
“Settling the case was in the best interests of the city,” city Law Department spokesman Nicholas Paolucci said Monday.
Sofia ripped the settlement Monday, saying Seifullah should not have been compensated and calling her behavior reckless.
