Overview
- Ashley A. Fisler, 36, who was arrested Thursday, is being held at the Salem County Jail pending a first appearance in Superior Court.
- Prosecutors filed eight counts that include six first-degree sexual assault charges, one count of endangering the welfare of a child, and one count of official misconduct.
- Investigators say the then-student reported the alleged abuse on January 23, 2026, describing multiple encounters in 2021 in Fisler’s car and in her classroom at Orchard Valley Middle School.
- A forensic review of devices found numerous texts between Fisler and the student and multiple nude photos that officials say confirm a sexual relationship.
- Fisler denied the allegations in a March 19 police interview, and the school district says she left in April 2023 and is cooperating with law enforcement.
