It's another teacher-student sex scandal: The Star-Ledger reports that an Old Bridge drama teacher was arrested due to an alleged "sexual relationship with a male student that started in February." Lisa Glide, 35, was charged with sexual assault and endangering the welfare of a child, which, if convicted, could mean up to 10 years in prison. Apparently prosecutors received information about a relationship and started to investigate last month; the student graduated this past summer at age 17. Students at Old Bridge High were surprised, telling WCBS 2, "I was shocked because I knew this teacher and she was great," and "She was nice, she was a really nice lady and she really loved what she did and she was really nice to all of us." Glide posted $100,000 last night; her lawyer said, "Like everybody, she is presumed innocent until proven guilty."
