This was not a case of teacher/student but the rash of contact is because there is no line separating teachers from students when it comes to phones and email
NORTH PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) — A Rhode Island middle school teacher arrested after the first day of classes was arraigned Tuesday on multiple sexual assault charges involving a juvenile, authorities said.
Matthew Moniz, 52, a teacher at Ricci Middle School in North Providence, was held without bail during a virtual arraignment in Providence Superior Court. Not guilty pleas were entered on his behalf.
The alleged crimes occurred in East Providence some time between February 1, 2019, and June 30, 2019, authorities said.
The school has placed Moniz on leave.
