SOUTH JERSEY (KYW Newsradio) — A former middle school teacher in Washington Township, Gloucester County, is charged with having a sexual relationship with a student.
The Gloucester County Prosecutor’s Office said 36-year-old Ashley Fisler had multiple sexual encounters with a student in 2021, while she was a teacher at Orchard Valley Middle School in Sewell.
That student, now an adult, told investigators in January that the encounters took place inside her car and in the classroom. Police said text messages between the teacher and student confirmed there was an unlawful relationship.
Fisler is charged with sexual assault of a minor, endangering the welfare of a child, and official misconduct.
Officials said Fisler is no longer employed as a teacher in Washington Township or anywhere else.
She is being held at Salem County Jail. If convicted, she faces decades in prison.
