NEW LONDON, CT (WFSB) -- Another arrest was made amid the ongoing investigation involving New London Public School employees.

On Tuesday, police arrested 35-year-old Melissa Rodriguez, of Griswold. She's being charged with failure to report as a mandated reporter.

Police said she was a teacher at Bennie Dover Jackson Middle School.

The investigation began with the arrest of Corriche Gaskin, 35, who is accused of having a sexual relationship with a 16-year-old student over the course of several years.

He was listed as a school 'climate specialist' at the Bennie Dover Jackson Middle School, however he was terminated from his position.

The student told investigators that the relationship started when she was 13.

The sexual assaults happened at the end of the 2017-18 school year, according to an arrest warrant.

A few weeks ago, school officials said Rodriguez and three other staff members had been placed on administrative leave. As a teacher, Rodriguez is a mandated reported, which means she must notify police if she hears about any alleged abuse.

"You're talking about innocent lives and who else is supposed to protect innocent lives but a teacher," said Janisha Reynolds.

Police arrested another school employee last week on sex assault charges.

On Thursday morning, police arrested Jevon Elmore, amid an ongoing investigation involving New London Public School employees.

All school employees, coaches, and counselors are mandated reporters.

“Climate specialist”? At a Middle School?

I guess the public schools must have money to burn... (or to indoctrinate with)

Do teachers have to go through sensitivity training on spotting other teachers have sex with minor students?

I mean with so many instances of it happening, they do go through training to spot it and try to prevent it, right?

The climate specialist at this school was some type of anti-bullying job. He ended up having long term sexual relationships with 2 13 year-olds and 2 teachers.

corrupt, incompetent permanent government parasites fed and maintained by massive government debt at manipulated interest rates in our printed, fiat currency - courtesy of the Federal Reserve.

Terrible what they have allowed to happen.

I thought in the UK only Muslims were allowed to sex traffic young white children with the full knowledge and acquiescence of the police, town councils, and school boards. Had been going on for more than 10 years. I guess the Brits are not going to allow other Brits in on the action that is reserved solely for their Muslim buddies.

Yep. This used to be New London Junior High. So who was Benny Dover Jackson? Cannot find anything on the net other than this seems to be a really bad school with lots of discipline problems (handguns discharged in the school, etc) and academic scores at the bottom of the barrel.

Some more on the beloved Corriche Gaskin.

A New London schools employee is out of a job Monday after he was arrested twice, according to a spokesperson for the school district.
Corriche Gaskin, 35, is facing multiple charges including multiple counts of risk of injury to a child, illegal possession of child pornography, second degree sexual assault and voyeurism with malice.
An unsealed warrant cited a minor, whom police call Victim #1, who said

Gaskin showed her three sexually explicit videos from his cell phone during the 2016 to 2017 school year.

The alleged victim identified three people in the videos, two adult staff members and an eighth grade student. All admitted to having sexual encounters with Gaskin during that school year, according to those documents. One of the staff members said said while she worked as a teacher at Bennie Dover Jackson Middle School, Gaskin attempted to initiate sexual activity inside the school “specifically inside a lower level supply closet and multiple times in her classroom.”
