ROCKFORD (WREX) - A former Durand teacher pleads not guilty to charges of sexual abuse and child pornography.
Jennifer Bland, 23, was arrested in October, and then again a few weeks later after more students came forward claiming they were sexually abused by the teacher. Last week, she was charged with having a pornographic picture of a minor.
Bland pleaded not guilty Tuesday. The judge set her bond on this new charge to run concurrent with the others, so Bland didn't have to post anymore money. She's out of jail while she waits for trial.
