Investigators have warned the probe is still ongoing – and believe there may be additional victims who have not yet been identified.
Officials urge anyone with information to come forward.
The disgraced teacher is said to own a $1.2 million home in Eastvale with her husband, Willie Watson, according to property records.
Calls to the property reportedly went unanswered.
It comes as another twisted teacher is facing 20 years in prison after alledly using her classroom and car to have sex with a student.
Ashley Fisler, 36, was arrested on Thursday after her former student – now an adult – brought forward the horror allegations to police.
The victim told police the alleged sexual assaults took place in 2021 while they were a student at Orchard Valley Middle School in Washington Township, New Jersey.
Fisler was a social studies teacher at the time.
Officials are alleging multiple assaults took place in the classroom and Fisler’s car.
Text messages between the pair confirmed the “unlawful sexual nature of their relationship,” officials said.
Fisler is charged with first-degree sexual assault of a minor, one count of second-degree endangering the welfare of a child and one count of second-degree official misconduct.
The top charges carry a maximum of 20 years in prison, while both second-degree charges carry a maximum of 10 years.
