Disgraced ex-NJ teacher accused of having sex with 8th grader faces new disturbing charges
Former New Jersey middle school teacher Ashley Fisler was indicted on a 12-count indictment that includes manufacturing child sexual abuse material, sexual assault of a minor, and a pattern of official misconduct. Prosecutors say the alleged victim, now an adult, reported multiple sexual encounters with Fisler while he was a student in 2021, supported by thousands of text messages. If convicted, the first‑degree charges carry up to 20 years in prison, while second‑ and third‑degree charges carry up to ten and five years respectively.
- ▪Ashley Fisler, a former social studies teacher in Washington Township, was arrested in March and faces a 12‑count indictment that adds manufacturing child sexual abuse material and distribution of obscenity to a minor to earlier charges.
- ▪The alleged victim, now an adult, testified that the illegal sexual relationship occurred in Fisler’s vehicle and classroom in 2021, and investigators recovered roughly 7,500 pages of text messages documenting the conduct.
- ▪Defense attorney Rocco Cipparone argues that the prosecution’s text messages lack context and do not constitute sufficient evidence of the alleged crimes.
