Female English teacher charged for having improper relationships with her three male students

New Jersey, USA: An English teacher has been charged with 'official misconduct' after allegedly having 'improper relationships' with three, 18-year-old male students.

Nicole McDonough, 32, is accused of having a "physical sexual relationship" with one student, and having improper "communication and fraternization" with all three.

The teacher, from Mount Olive in New Jersey, was placed on immediate paid leave at West Morris Mendham High School after her arrest on December 30.

At that time she was charged with one count of official misconduct for allegedly having sex with one student in May and June of 2014, a criminal complaint signed by Morris County Prosecutor's Detective Bruce LaFera stated.

The new indictment includes accusations involving the two other men, but McDonough is not accused of having sexual relations with either of them according to NJ.com.

These alleged offences took place between March 1, 2013 and June 20, 2013 with one student and between April 22, 2014 and June 20, 2014 with the other.

McDonough previously pleaded not guilty at her first court appearance in January and the case was sent to the grand jury.
