Former 'Sexting' Teacher Pleads Guilty

Hatboro resident Cheryl Bremble, a former Upper Dublin High School teacher, has admitted to having inappropriate contact with a female student.

A former Upper Dublin High School teacher accused of "sexting" a female student has pleaded guilty to a felony charge stemming from improper contact, including giving a minor child a sex device on school property, according to The Times Herald.

Cheryl Bremble, 42, of the 200 block of West Moreland Avenue in Hatboro, on Wednesday pleaded guilty in Montgomery County court to a felony charge of disseminating obscene and other sexual materials to a minor and a corruption of a minor charge in connection with incidents that occurred between October 2010 and May 2011.

Bremble, who has been free on $25,000 bail since her June 2011 arrest, is awaiting sentencing and faces a possible maximum sentence of six to 12 years in prison, according to The Times Herald.

At the time of her arrest, authorities had said that Bremble, then a teacher at Upper Dublin High School, had been "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."

Bremble also gave the victim a sex device on school property, during school hours and encouraged the juvenile to use the device on numerous occasions, according to authorities.

Bremble, who began working as a learning support reading teacher at Upper Dublin High School in 2000, was suspended from her teaching job at the time of her arrest, pending the outcome of the case.

In June 2011, Upper Dublin School District Superintendent Michael Pladus told Patch that, "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.”

Other charges that Bremble had faced, including endangering the welfare of a child, unlawful contact or communication with a minor, criminal use of a communication facility and harassment will be dismissed at the time of sentencing in exchange for Bremble's guilty plea on the other charges, according to the Times Herald.
