MONTGOMERY, NJ — A Montgomery teacher that pleaded guilty to endangering the welfare of a child and sexual conduct with a minor has lost her teaching license, the State Board of Examiners ruled earlier this year.

Michelina Aichele, of Hillsborough, lost her license to teach English effective May 17, following an April 10 guilty plea. She was previously employed at Montgomery Township High School.

Aichele was first arrested in Oct. 2018, when she was accused of sending nude photos and having sexually explicit conversations with a male student, Somerset County Prosecutor Michael H. Robertson said at the time.
