A former New Jersey middle school teacher arrested last month for raping one of her students sobbed as a judge determined she would remain jailed until her case is resolved.

In video footage of a Gloucester County Court bail hearing, accessed by Us Weekly, Ashley Fisler can be seen covering her mouth with her hands in shock as Judge William Ziegler announced he feels the married former educator poses a risk to the community at large.

Fisler, 36, could then be seen wiping tears from her eyes and pouting as the judge spoke in her hearing on Wednesday, April 1. She was also seen rocking back and forth, comforting herself.

Fisler has been charged with six counts of first-degree sexual assault of a minor, one count of second-degree endangering the welfare of a child and one count of second-degree official misconduct.

Fisler was arrested after the victim reported the allegations to police on January 23. The victim, who is now an adult, said that they were sexually assaulted six times by Fisler while they were a student in her class at Orchard Valley Middle School.

He turned 14 in 2021 during the alleged sexual abuse.

Investigators said they obtained 7,500 pages of incriminating text messages between Fisler and the victim, which confirmed the sexual nature of their relationship.

She allegedly had sex with the student in her car and her classroom in the school.

Fisler allegedly maintained contact with the child after the rapes and asked him to talk about the sexual encounters he was having with girls his own age.

She also offered to buy him a sex toy and groom his private parts, according to the texts, police said.

In a message the teen sent on January 2, 2025, he told Fisler, “I have to try really hard to rebuild the things you broke inside of me. You destroyed things inside of me. You stripped me of my innocence.”

Fisler, who left teaching in 2023, has not entered pleas to the charges she faces.

The New York Post reported her lawyer, Rocco Cipparone, argued that texts showed the alleged victim in this case was no “babe in the woods.”

“He’s not texting like a kid … his texts are as graphic and direct as any I’ve seen from an adult,” Cipparone said. “I’m not saying he’s not the age he is, but this is not a babe in the woods scenario that [the prosecutor] is creating from a risk and a danger perspective.”

She is due back in court on May 14.

Each first-degree charge she is facing carries a maximum of 20 years in prison, while she could face a maximum of 10 years in prison for each second-degree charge.
