A former second-grade teacher In Jersey City admitted Wednesday she sexually assaulted a 15-year-old student in her Lyndhurst home more than three years ago.

Lauren Coyle-Mitchell, 36, pleaded guilty in Bergen County Superior Court to aggravated sexual assault and endangering the welfare of a child, a court official said.

Under a plea bargain, Coyle-Mitchell faces five years in state prison, parole supervision for life and will be required to register as a sex offender, according to a report on NorthJersey.com.

She is also barred from public employment and must forfeit her teaching certificates, according to the report.

Coyle-Mitchell worked at Dr. Lena Edwards Academic Charter School in Jersey City and was accused of performing oral sex on the girl in her Lyndhurst home in 2015.

Teachers at the school went to Lyndhurst police after a field trip to Washington, D.C. and claimed the teacher had inappropriate contact with the student.

Coyle-Mitchell was charged in June 2015 with aggravated sexual assault and endangering the welfare of a child.

A month later, she was arrested again and accused of breaking a no-contact order by trying to call and text the victim.

In May 2018, the Board of Examiners, the state’s teacher licensing agency, suspended Coyle-Mitchell’s certificates, which included teacher of elementary school and teacher of students with disabilities.

Sentencing was set for Aug. 2.
