Linda Hardan, a 21-year-old substitute teacher could spend over 20 years in prison for the activities she allegedly engaged in with two 16-year-old male students.

Hardan was a substitute teacher at the Manchester Regional High School in Passaic County, New Jersey. On November 21st, Linda Hardan was arrested for sexually assaulting a male student.

According to Gyselle DaSilva, Passaic County senior assistant prosecutor, on the 20th, school officials called the police after they learned that Hardan was having sex with a 16-year-old student.

Authorities from Manchester Regional High School told the cops that Hardan took the teen to Wayne, outside school hours, and had sex with him at least twice. According to an eyewitness, Hardan was seen leaving the school with the alleged victim in her car on one occasion.

Manchester Regional Principal, Richard Ney, would not say how he found out about Hardan’s misconduct. Ney explained that Hardan worked “occasionally” at the school and added:

“We are disappointed to learn that someone who occasionally worked as a substitute at the school engaged in an inappropriate relationship with a student.”

On Friday, Linda Hardan, of Prospect Park appeared at the Superior Court in Paterson in shackles and wearing a green inmate suit. Miss Hardan was hit with new charges, after it was discovered that she sexted another 16-year-old student from Manchester Regional High School on numerous occasions.

Linda Hardan stayed calm, as it was revealed that she was charged with second-degree sexual assault, third-degree endangering the welfare of a child and fourth-degree criminal sexual contact.

The instructor might be spending up to 20 years in prison if she is convicted on all charges. She may also be forced to register as a sex offender.

The science teacher pleaded not guilty to all of the charges and Judge Donna Gallucio decided to reduce her bail to $200,000 from $250,000.

While Gyselle DaSilva claimed that Hardan has confessed to the crimes, her attorney, Aymen Aboushi, stated that she is innocent. Aboushi told local media:

“She looks forward to having her day in court.These are allegations by teenage boys. We look forward to hearing the evidence and getting to the truth.”

Aboushi revealed that his client lives with her parents, five brothers and a sister, and with the help of the community they are doing all they can to get almost a quarter of a million to get her out.
