A New Jersey gym teacher was jailed after a former student detailed their sexual relationship that spanned her high school career.
Former Bridgewater-Raritan High School teacher Lydia Pinto, 38, was charged Nov. 8 with first-degree aggravated sexual assault and two counts of second-degree sexual assault.
He was arrested without incident.
The Somerset County Prosecutor’s Office launched an investigation into Pinto’s conduct on October 16 after the Bridgewater Police Department received an anonymous email detailing Pinto’s alleged relationship with the student.
The victim, now an adult, was identified and interviewed by detectives with the office’s sex crimes and child abuse unit on Oct. 26, Somerset County Prosecutor John P. McDonald wrote in a Nov. 17 press release.
“The victim was reported to be in a relationship with a former teacher, Lydia Pinto,” read the statement.

“The victim further reported that the relationship turned sexual when the victim was between 14 and 15 years old and continued until the victim’s senior year in high school.”
The sexual activity all took place in Raritan Borough, prosecutors said.
Pinto coaches field hockey and girls lacrosse at the school, My Central Jersey reports, and teaches driver’s ed according to a Facebook post on the high school’s page.
