A twisted New Jersey special education teacher allegedly exchanged more than 25,000 text messages with the middle-school boy she is accused of sexually assaulting, according to a seven-count indictment.
Freehold Intermediate School’s Allison Havemann-Niedrach sent thousands of messages to the 15-year-old victim starting when the alleged abuse began in early 2024, and stopped in June with her arrest, according to the indictment.
Authorities began looking into Havemann-Niedrach, 44, in June, after the school’s vice principal told investigators he was worried about her relationship with the eighth-grader — after another teacher reportedly spotted her “rubbing the victim’s neck and back.”
The teacher also alleged they saw Havemann-Niedrach “flirting with him and noticed her touching his leg.”
The victim allegedly told friends he was dating the married teacher.
Talking to cops, though, the boy said he was dating Havemann-Niedrach’s daughter, insisting the educator did nothing inappropriate, the documents read.
But the texts on his phone proved otherwise, authorities said.
Over 25,000 text exchanges were recovered from the alleged victim’s phone.
Prosecutors previously said the former teacher was “obsessed” with her alleged victim, People reported.
The boy was brought to the police station by his mother days later, and he admitted having sex with Havemann-Niedrach.
Havemann-Niedrach was formally charged Tuesday with single counts of aggravated sexual assault, child endangerment through the manufacture of child sex abuse materials, official misconduct and sexual assault, as well as three counts of endangering.
She has been on home confinement in Jackson since posting bail after her initial arrest last year.
The disgraced teacher is the mother of two small children. Havemann-Niedrach started working at Freehold Intermediate in March 2022.
Havemann-Niedrach and her attorney did not return calls.
