Teacher Once Hired, Fired By NJ District After Sex Tape: Reports

Reports revealed on Wednesday that an ex-NJ teacher once got hired (and later fired) despite her publicized student sexual encounters.

An ex-teacher who described herself as "mad horny" and reportedly made a sex tape with a student was hired and later fired by a New Jersey school district, various reports revealed on Wednesday.

Nadine Sudlow was hired by the Newark school district several years ago even though the New York Post’s website had just published this 2015 story: “High school teacher made sex tape with student: report,” according to NJ101.5 and The Record. She had also resigned from New York City school district in 2014 once school officials learned about the relationship.

The 27-year-old English teacher had sex with a student, who took pictures and video of the illicit encounters, sharing them with his classmates, according to the reports. The Record reported Sudlow sent emails to the student to tell him she was "mad horny."

NJ101.5 revealed that students told investigators that Sudlow favored the male student, buying him Starbucks and lunch every day. The student said Sudlow once picked him up at home and took him to a hotel where they had sex.

New Jersey also granted Sudlow a teaching certificate in 2015 before she was hired by the Newark school district, where Sudlow claimed a principal who knew about her sordid history encouraged her to apply for a job, according to NJ101.5.

The state of New York did not revoke her teaching certificate until August 2016, according to NJ101.5. And Sudlow lost her Newark job a few months after she was hired.

Mike Yaple, a spokesman for the Department of Education, declined to answer questions to 101.5 about whether the state notified Newark about Sudlow’s accusations or whether the Board of Examiners intended to investigate further.

Tracy Munford, a spokeswoman for the Newark schools, told the station the district could not comment on conversations that may or may not have happened between the principal and any candidate.
