Hatboro Woman Charged with Sexting Student

Upper Dublin High School teacher Cheryl Bremble has been suspended while the investigation continues.

An Upper Dublin High School teacher who lives in Hatboro has been charged with offenses stemming from alleged sexual text messages and sexual conversations she is accused of having with a female student. 

Cheryl Bremble, 40, of the 200 block of West Moreland Avenue in Hatboro, was arrested Friday on charges of endangering the welfare of a child, corruption of minors, unlawful contact with a minor and related offenses, according to a press release from the Montgomery County District Attorney’s Office.

The release states that Bremble “began spending a lot of time with the juvenile victim outside of the school setting, including shopping trips where she (Bremble) purchased her several expensive clothing items. Bremble also had sexually explicit conversations with the juvenile victim in person and via text messages."

Upper Dublin School District Superintendent Michael Pladus told Upper Dublin Patch that the district suspended Bremble earlier this week, upon being notified about an investigation by Upper Dublin Police.

“The teacher has been suspended, pending the results of the investigation,” Pladus said.

Pladus also issued the following statement to Patch:

“Although the district is not able to comment on any specific aspects related to the ongoing investigation, I can tell you that we are most certainly cooperating fully with the authorities. Any allegation of improper communications or solicitations involving a member of our faculty or staff with a student will not be tolerated, under any circumstances.”

Pladus did not comment on Bremble’s employment or history, but Bremble is listed on LinkedIn, a professional networking Web site, as a “Learning Support Reading Teacher.” The page also states Bremble has been an employee of the district since 2000, and worked in the Centennial School District from September 1998 until June 2000.
