MONROVIA, Ind. -- A former Monrovia teacher's aide and assistant cheerleading coach was charged Thursday with dissemination of matter harmful to minors.

Jennifer Rhea is accused of sending inappropriate texts to a then 15-year-old student in January of last year.

According to court documents, the texts included naked pictures of women from the internet.

Rhea revealed in those texts that she wanted to have sex with the teen, but the two reportedly never did.

Rhea resigned in September after the allegations came to light.
