Middletown School Employee Arrested
Christine Powell (Middletown Police Department)


    An alleged two-year relationship between a former Middletown High School teacher and a student raised concerns among fellow teachers and escalated from after-school tutoring to shopping trips to frequent sex, according to an arrest warrant unsealed Friday.
    A paraprofessional who worked with Christine Powell, who is charged with second-degree sexual assault, was so bothered by the alleged relationship that she eventually quit her job, the woman told police.
