Former Teacher Indicted On 12 Sex Felonies
EDWARDSVILLE - Former substitute teacher Danielle C. Fischer, 29, of the 400 block of Roanoke Drive, Edwardsville, has been charged with six counts of criminal sexual assault, four counts of criminal sexual abuse, and two counts of child pornography. Fischer is accused of sexual acts with three boys at her Edwardsville home while she was the victims’ teacher. She was a permanent substitute teacher in the Roxana School District from 2020 and 2021 and for the Alton School District from 2021 to the 2022 school year. The assault and abuse charges allege basically the same acts but under different legal theories. The child pornography charges claim she induced one of the young men to appear in a film or video of the two engaged in two different sex acts. The child pornography charges are class X felonies, punishable by prison terms of between six and 30 years. The indictment was last Thursday. The state has also lodged other felony charges recently.
