Police on suburban Philadelphia's Main Line revealed details Wednesday about a teacher at a school for troubled youth facing charges of repeatedly sexually assaulting a juvenile student she allegedly considered "her girlfriend."

Nina Scott, 28, taught at Presbyterian Children's Village on Roberts Road in Rosemont, Pennsylvania, said Radnor Township police. She was fired late last year, said the school.

"The only way I can describe what this teacher did is downright disgusting," said Radnor police Superintendent William Colarulo at a news conference Wednesday.
The sexual encounters between Scott and a female student took place from February 2016 to October 2016 on school property, at public parks in Philadelphia while the girl was on home leave and at Scott's home, said police.

Scott eventually admitted to kissing the girl on multiple occasions and touching the girl sexually in a classroom at The Village, said police. The girl also sexually touched Scott, said police.

Scott also admitted to seeing the girl naked in the classroom and in a Philadelphia park, said police.
Scott told investigators that at first she lied out of fears that her daughter and job would be taken away, said police.

After Scott's admissions, Investigators talked to the girl again, who at that time admitted to making the first move on Scott after passing a note to her in class asking if she could kiss Scott.
