What happened with Ed Harding’s daughter?
Hudson, a former middle school teacher, was charged with sexually assaulting a kid more than a decade ago. She was arraigned in Middlesex Superior Court via Zoom and entered a not guilty plea. She was charged with 10 counts, including aggravated child rape, child rape by force, and indecent assault on a minor under the age of 14.
The charges stem from her time as a teacher at a now-defunct Hudson middle school in the summer of 2010. According to court filings, the 13-year-old accused victim was a student, and the assaults began during a summer trip to acquire an ice cream. According to the records, a relative of the girl discovered a disturbing video in 2010 and Harding’s ex-wife discovered disturbing texts, but nothing was reported to law policy until recently. Through her attorney, Brad Bailey, Harding disputed the charges.
Harding left Hudson in 2013 and went on to teach in Needham until 2017. Harding was fired by Needham Schools after a teacher she was romantically connected with said the connection was abusive, according to records from a separate federal complaint. Harding refuted the allegations and filed a lawsuit against the institution for wrongful discharge. In 2020, the two came to an agreement. In this criminal matter, Harding was released on her own recognizance. The judge issued an order. The judge barred her from contacting anyone under the age of 18 or anyone engaged in the case.
