Jennifer Simard, 24, an on-call substitute teacher’s aide in the Goffstown School District, in Goffstown, New Hampshire has been indicted by a Hillsborough County grand jury, arrested and jailed on two counts of prohibited use of computer services.

It is alleged that Simard had sexually explicit online conversations with a boy who is younger than 16-years-old during the months of August and September. The grand jury indictment also alleges that Simard discussed with the boy how he could keep his parents from finding out about them.

Reportedly Hillsborough County Attorney Marguerite Wageling yesterday dropped four similar counts filed against Simard after researching state law.

A school spokesperson said Simard had been told before the academic year started that her services were no longer needed and she was not allowed on school property.

Greg Ingalls

A former Spaulding High School teacher accused of sexually assaulting a student more than 20 years pleaded guilty Friday to a sexual assault charge shortly before his trial was scheduled to begin. Greg Ingalls, 57, of 4 Park Lane, a former Spaulding math teacher and longtime Barrington School Board member, was charged in April 2007 on a Class B felony of sexually assaulting a teenager in property he owned in Raymond in the mid-1980s.

On Friday, Rockingham County Superior Court Judge John Lewis sentenced Ingalls to 12 months in the Rockingham County House of Corrections to begin immediately, according to a clerk court. Police have said the assault occurred between 1984 and 1985 when Ingalls drove a 14-year-old Rochester boy — a Spaulding High School student — to his Raymond apartment, located in a Main Street building. In May Ingalls resigned in from his post on the Barrington School Board and in late June the Rochester School Board accepted his retirement resignation.

Kevin Goddu

A former high school teacher accused of raping a student in Hudson is claiming in court papers that he was involved in a “romantic” sexual relationship with the 16-year-old girl.

Kevin Goddu, 45, of Chelmsford, Mass., is facing 14 counts of felonious aggravated sexual assault for allegedly raping a former student at a home on Sullivan Road in Hudson earlier this year.

According to court records, Goddu, then a teacher at Timberlane Regional High School, allegedly pinned the 16-year-old Plaistow girl down on a bed and raped her the afternoon of Feb. 27.

But Goddu’s attorney, in court papers filed in Nashua Superior Court, claims the girl consented to sex with his client, and “several witnesses” are prepared to testify that their relationship was “romantic.”

Severine Wamala

A former Lowell (Mass.) High School math teacher and chess coach was sentenced Monday to 20-40 years in prison for repeatedly raping a young girl.

Speaking before he was sentenced, Severine Wamala, 46, formerly of 6 Danforth Road, Apt. 22, attacked the girl one last time, saying she had always been a difficult child and was prone to lying. He also said he loves and forgives her.

Judge Robert Lynn has prohibited Wamala from having any further contact with the girl as a condition of his sentence. Wamala had been jailed since his arrest last year and was convicted after a trial in September in Hillsborough County Superior Court. He plans to appeal his conviction on 11 counts of aggravated felonious sexual assault, his lawyer, public defender Anthony Sculimbrene said.

Prosecutors had charged Wamala with raping two other young women as well, but those charges were dismissed after both women recanted, and testified police had pressured them into making false allegations against him.

Kenneth Lang

A former Kingston elementary school music teacher was sent to prison yesterday after admitting to molesting a boy for three years during the 1980s.

Kenneth Lang, 60, of Amesbury, Mass., and Newton, N.H., will spend the next 7 1/2 to 15 years in state prison for abusing the boy, now 36, who reported the abuse to police just last year. Lang pleaded guilty to eight felonies yesterday as part of a plea deal.

He is scheduled for trial in Essex County (Mass.) Superior Court late next month for a similar pattern of assaults — with the same victim — that occurred in Haverhill, Mass. Lang's victim said yesterday he finally disclosed the years of abuse in 2006 because he learned that Lang was teaching music at D.J. Bakie Elementary School in Kingston, where he worked for 13 years.
