Student Teacher Arrested for Sex Middle Schooler

Wow! Both the teachers AND the students keep getting younger in these cases. This time it was a 23-year-old student teacher and a boy in 8th grade. My favorite line from the article? "According to Superintendent Braden Hirsch, Massaro was in charge of schooling eighth-grade students on a myriad of subjects." Apparently so.

Here's more from WPIX:

A student teacher at an elementary school in Frankford has been arrested and charged with having sexual relations with a young student, authorities said Thursday. Lindsay Massaro, 23, a student at Centenary College in Hackettstown, reportedly struck up a week-long romance with the Frankford Elementary school student, which apparently began on March 21 and ended this past Saturday.

Massaro is accused of committing "acts of sexual penetration and sexual contact with the intimate parts of a minor male," according to information provided by the Sussex County Prosecutor's office. According to Superintendent Braden Hirsch, Massaro was in charge of schooling eighth-grade students on a myriad of subjects. Officials say she was working toward getting her state teaching certificate in special education.

Massaro was arrested Monday following a probe by police, but it is not clear if police tracked her down at the elementary school, which serves student grades K-8.
