Former New Jersey Teacher Pleads Guilty to Abuse of Former Pupil Who Fathered Her Child

A former New Jersey elementary school teacher has pleaded guilty to endangering the welfare of a child after prosecutors said she had an unlawful sexual relationship with a former pupil. Prosecutors said the relationship began in 2016, when the boy was 11, and continued for several years. She became pregnant when he was 13 and gave birth in 2019. The former teacher faces up to five years in prison under a plea agreement. She must surrender her teaching licence, register as an offender and will face lifetime parole supervision after serving her sentence. The victim, now an adult, has publicly defended her, but prosecutors described the case as a serious breach of trust by an educator.
