Goffstown, NEW HAMPSHIRE

September 26, 2008 - Jennifer Simard, 24, a substitute teacher's aide in the Goffstown School District, was arrested yesterday. She was charged with two counts of prohibited use of computer services for sexually explicit IM conversations with a boy. Both are Class B felonies.

A indictment handed up by a Hillsborough County grand jury Sept. 19 cites two sexually explicit conservations Simard allegedly had with the boy in August and September. She also is accused of talking with the boy about how he could keep his parents from finding out about them, the indictment alleges. The boy is a student in the Goffstown district, according to the administration. Because he is younger than 16, he is considered a child, according to the indictment.

Simard was told before the new school year, that her services would no longer be needed. She is being held without bail pending arraignment.
