Police in Colorado say a Greeley school teacher has admitted having a child with a student and is facing sexual assault charges. Northridge High School spanish teacher Rhonda Eisenberg was booked into the Weld County Jail on July 17, 2012, after police said she admitted to having a sexual relationship with a 17-year-old student while he lived with her in 2010. According to the Greeley Tribune newspaper, Eisenberg had guardianship over the boy, whose parents lived in Mexico at the time. KUSA-TV in Denver reports that during a court appearance, the 44-year-old Eisenberg told a judge, "I'm not a bad person." She is seen in this mugshot photo.
