Shroyer used her position as a teacher’s aide/clinical assistant to develop a relationship with the victim, a 16-year-old male student at the school, which eventually turned sexual, according to the release.

After a joint investigation conducted by the Monmouth County Prosecutor's Office and the Spring Lake Heights Police Department, with aid from the Wall Township and Hazlet Police Departments, Shroyer was arrested on June 12, 2009, and charged with sexual assault and endangering the welfare of a child. Bail was set at $100,000, which Shroyer posted later that day, according to the release.

Shroyer was terminated form the Rugby School immediately thereafter and
has not been employed by a school since, the release says.

Sentencing is scheduled for November 16, according to the release.
