Rachelle Gendron, 27, was fired from her job at North Central Charter
Essential School in Fitchburg following an investigation in which police
allegedly recovered "significant" evidence of inappropriate conduct,
including text messages and photos of the teacher "in various states of
undress with genitals and breasts exposed," from the phone of a
14-year-old male student.
In court Friday, Gendron appeared crying and visibly shaken as she was
arraigned on charges including five counts of rape aggravated by age
difference.
Gendron is accused of having sex with the victim three times in October
2012, once in January 2013 and then again in March. She is also accused
of enticing the boy, according to indictments.
Gendron was released on $2,000 bail. She is not allowed to have contact
with the victim, teach or have contact with children under 16 years old,
according to the Sentinel and Enterprise.
A school official told the newspaper that Gendron, who had been living
with her parents in town, had taught at the school for five years.
Gendron pleaded not guilty to all charges against her. If convicted,
each count of rape carries a mandatory minimum sentence of 10 years in
prison.
