A history teacher at a now-defunct Catholic high school in central New Jersey is accused of repeatedly having sex with a 17-year-old male student.

The Middlesex County prosecutor has charged Fatima Grupico, of Linden, with sexual assault and child endangerment.

Ms Grupico lost her job when the school closed down because of financial troubles at the end of the school year in June.

She is being held at the Middlesex county Jail in North Brunswick while awaiting a bail hearing.

When she was not busy teaching history, the 24-year-old educator apparently spent her free time perfecting the art of the selfie.

Grupico's Pinterest page is filled with dozens of self-portraits depicting the bespectacled brunette mugging and pouting for the camera in her classroom.

Middlesex County Prosecutor Andrew Carey told NJ.com Thursday the investigation into Fatima Grupico's conduct began after school officials notified police about their concerns.

According to Grupico's LinkedIn page, the Linden resident graduated from Seton Hall University in 2013 with a Bachelor's degree in secondary education and teaching.

She had been hired to teach history at Cardinal McCarrick in June 2014.
