New Jersey teacher accused of sending nude photos, explicit messages to teen

SOMERVILLE, N.J. -- (WPIX) -- A New Jersey high school English teacher is accused of sending sexually explicit photos to a 17-year-old student, according to Somerset County Prosecutor Michael Robertson.

Michelina Aichele, 29, of Hillsborough Township, has been charged with second-degree endangering the welfare of a child.

Someone from Montgomery Township High School called police Oct. 4 to report Aichele, and, after investigators spoke with the student, they arrested her the following day.

The victim told police Aichele sent him nude photos over a period of several months, Robertson said in a news release. The teen also gave details of alleged, sexually explicit conversations he had with Aichele via email and social media.

Aichele was booked at the Somerset County Jail pending a detention hearing.
