CAMBRIDGE, Mass. --
A Newton high school driver's education teacher was indicted Thursday on charges of raping and sexually assaulting a student.
A Middlesex grand jury indicted Norman Swerling, 56, on one count of rape, five counts of indecent assault on a person over 14, and two counts of assault and battery, according to Seth Horwitz, spokesman for Middlesex District Attorney Martha Coakley.
Swerling, a teacher at Newton North High School, alleged assaulted the 16-year-old student once in December, and twice more in January. The abuse allegedly took place during driver's education instruction.
After Newton school officials found out about the allegations on Jan. 15, Swerling was put on administrative leave the next morning, according to a statement from school officials.
The school called the case "a sad and troubling situation" in the statement.
No arraignment date has been set.
There was no answer at a listing for a Norman Swerling in Wellesley.

Holy sheeeeeit!
One day I was in his car with him learning how to drive and by the end of the period he said let's go for an ice cream and we did. That was in 1991! Now when I look back crikey I'm so glad that he didn't do that to me! Other time my childhood best friend asked me to join her so I was in the back seat minding my own business and somehow that jerk wacked the back of her head! Of course, she was furious and screamed at him! I was like oh lawdy gemme outta here! Damn, I never thought he would do shit and now it's time for him to pay the price!
