A teacher from Mount Olive Township in New Jersey is in hot water tonight after being arrested for allegedly having a physical relationship with a student. Nicole McDonough taught English at West Morris Mendham High School prior to being put in jail.

That said, don’t count on her spending too much time behind bars. The 32-year-old teacher, who many of students know as Mrs. Nicole Howell (as she’s reportedly married to a man named Thomas Howell), is alleged to have had sex with an 18-year-old student. While technically illegal due to her job, it’s a bit of a grey area and will likely cause a judge to go easy on her.

Mrs. McDonough has two daughters and is regarded by those who know her as a dedicated mother and a talented educator. Coworkers were unanimously shocked by the allegations. For the sake of her kids, I’m hoping she avoids jail altogether. Honestly, an 18-year-old knows what he’s doing. And the only lingering impact on his life with be about seven decades worth of bragging rights.
