A substitute teacher working at a New Jersey middle school has been charged with repeatedly having sex with one of her male students.
Nataly Lopez, 27, of Elizabeth, was taken into custody last week and booked into jail on charges of first-degree aggravated sexual assault, second-degree sexual assault and third-degree endangering the welfare of a child.
Lopez taught classes at Nicholas S LaCorte-Peterstown School No 3 in Elizabeth but was employed by a private company called Source4Teachers, which provides substitute teachers to school districts.
Prosecutors Meghan Tomlinson said Lopez engaged in sexual acts with the male victim inside her car on two separate occasions, and the pair also exchanged sexually explicit messages online.
The Elizabeth Police Department learned of the allegations concerning Lopez last week and on Wednesday contacted the prosecutor's office, triggering an investigation by the special victims unit, reported NJ.com.
Lopez was arrested at home on Thursday afternoon and taken to Union County Jail to await her initial court appearance.
Elizabeth Schools Superintendent Olga Hugelmeyer said the district immediately barred Lopez from entering its facilities when officials learned of the allegations.
Lopez was hired by Source4Teachers in 2012 after passing standard background checks, none of which raised any red flags, according to a company spokesperson.
The suspect has now been banned from working as a substitute teacher for the service pending the outcome of the criminal investigation.
According to MyCentralJersey.com, if convicted of the criminal counts filed against her, Lopez could face up to 20 years in prison.
