SENECA FALLS, N.Y. -- A former Waterloo teacher has been charged with having sexual contact with a teen, according to the New York State Police.

Lindsey M. Halstead, 29, of East Bloomfield, was arrested Tuesday, the state police announced in a news release Tuesday. She has been accused of having sexual contact with a 16 year old in the town of Seneca Falls.

Troopers did not specify when the incident happened or whether the teen was a student of the physical education teacher.

Halstead was a teacher with the Waterloo Central School District from September 2014 to February 2, 2018, Superintendent Terri Bavis said in a statement posted on the district’s website.

She resigned as a physical education teacher on Feb. 2., 2018, reported the Finger Lakes Times.

Bavis said in his statement that the district is cooperating with the investigation.

“The safety and security of our students is of utmost importance and all reports of any kind are treated seriously,” he said.

After leaving Waterloo, Halstead worked as a long-term substitute teacher for Midlakes Schools until she was fired, troopers said. Midlakes Schools is part of the Phelps-Clifton Springs Central School District in Ontario County.

Halstead worked at Midlakes Schools from Feb. 5, 2018, until April 26, said Superintendent Matthew Sickles in a statement posted on the district’s website.

“The school district is fully cooperating with the New York State Police and is unaware of any alleged misconduct involving Midlakes students or any alleged misconduct occurring on our campus," he said.

Halstead has been charged with two counts of sexual misconduct and one count of endangering the welfare of a child, both misdemeanors. She remains in the Seneca County Jail pending arraignment.

“The investigation is continuing,” troopers said in their news release, “and additional charges are pending.”

Troopers asked anyone with information about the case to call (315)-539-3530.
