(Racine, Wisconsin) A 33-year-old special education teacher's aide, Lisa Myhre (aka Lisa Street), was arrested Monday and charged for alleged sexual assault of a boy over a two-year period.

From the JournalTimes.com:

The sexual contact began when the student was just 14-years-old and in the eighth grade at McKinley Middle School. The relationship ended on or just before January 2005, according to the complaint.

Myhre allegedly performed oral sex on the boy, touched him sexually, and kissed him throughout the course of the relationship.

The victim, now 17, told his mother on Oct. 24 who then informed police on Oct. 25.

Myhre works at Knapp Elementary School as a special education assistant working with special education students, said Linda Flashinski, director of communications for Unified [Racine Unified School District].

The boy's mother is distraught.

"We were like sisters. She figured out how to manipulate me. I still can't believe she did it."

Myhre was booked into the Racine County Jail with bond set at $10,000.
