VINELAND, NJ- www.pressofatlanticcity.com – A Vineland teacher’s aide and former champion high school swimmer allegedly kissed a male middle school student and sent him sexually suggestive pictures of her, according to police.
Police arrested Lauren Breslin, 23, of Vineland, early Friday morning and charged her with endangering the welfare of a child.
The boy’s mother found three sexually suggestive photos of the woman on her son’s phone and contacted Vineland Police on Thursday, according to police. Police say the boy told them he and Breslin kissed on the lips multiple times during school hours. The photos on the boy’s cell phone allegedly show Breslin wearing lingerie.
Investigators seized the phone as evidence and are awaiting a search warrant to proceed in their investigation. Their investigation remains ongoing, and more charges could be brought, Vineland Police Capt. Rudy Beu said Friday.
Breslin was transferred to Cumberland County Jail on $100,000 bail. She has worked as an instructional aide at Memorial School since Oct. 14.
Breslin grew up in Vineland and was a top swimmer for the high school, one of three swimmers to compete during the school’s four straight state championships from 2001 to 2004. She later swam competitively for The College of New Jersey and remained at least tangentially involved with Vineland’s high school swim team.
