Mayer's office says Sipera was charged last August after an investigation revealed she repeatedly sexually assaulted a student beginning in January, 2019, when the student was 17-years-old. Detectives said the sexual assault continued through March, 2020.

Under the sentencing agreement, Sipera must forfeit her teaching license and credentials, register under Megan’s Law, undergo lifelong supervised parole, and have no contact with the victim or the victim’s family.
