Another Teacher, Another Boy

(Passaic, NJ) Last October, Lincoln Middle School math teacher Maria Saco, 28, was arrested and charged with sexual assault, abruptly ending a year-long relationship with a 14-year-old student. Prosecutors stated that Saco confessed to having sex with the teenager.

This past Thursday, Saco pleaded guilty to endangering the welfare of a child and Superior Court Judge Marilyn C. Clark sentenced her to a year in the Passaic County Jail. Additionally, Saco will have to register as a sex offender for life and is barred from serving in any public capacity.
