ENOSBURGH, Vt. (WCAX) – A former Vermont schoolteacher faces charges of sexually assaulting a student.

Vermont state police say they started investigating Ashley Goodwin, 43, of Enosburg, in November after a report of sex offenses that took place from 2007 to 2009, when Goodwin was a teacher at Enosburg Middle School.

Troopers say the investigation revealed that Goodwin repeatedly sexually assaulted a student, starting when the child was 14.

Police cited Goodwin on Friday for aggravated sexual assault. She’s due in court on Monday.

Goodwin is no longer a teacher.

In her 2019 book, “Where the Light Enters,” former first lady Jill Biden described her feeling of devastation that her first marriage ended in divorce.

William “Bill” Stevenson, who currently faces a murder charge in connection with the death of his wife Linda Stevenson, is Jill Biden’s ex-husband, reports indicate.

“My parents loved each other until they left this earth,” Jill noted in her book, according to People. “Even in their old age, they were playful and affectionate. They loved faithfully and unconditionally. Marriage, for them, meant forever. And I knew, deeply, unquestioningly, that was what I would have as well. So, when my marriage fell apart, I was lost. I watched, devastated, as it slipped from my fingers before I could even figure out how to hold on.”

“I’m not sure if I knew anyone who was divorced back then,” she noted, according to the report. “The very idea horrified me. It meant failure, and in my still-young life, I had never failed at anything serious.”

“I felt ugly and inadequate; I was embarrassed and ashamed,” she explained, according to the outlet. “In a single devastating year, I went from thinking I had it all to feeling shattered and alone. I questioned if I would ever find love, if I would ever have a family of my own. How could I give my heart to someone again? How could I again risk this humiliation, this hurt? And how could I figure out who, exactly, I was?”

But her second marriage worked out — Jill and Joe Biden married in 1977 and remain together nearly five decades later.

The New Castle County Police Department announced Tuesday that detectives from the Division’s Criminal Investigations Unit, in coordination with the Delaware Department of Justice, presented the case to a grand jury on Monday following “an extensive weeks-long investigation into the death of 64-year-old Linda Stevenson.”

“As a result, an indictment was returned by the New Castle County Superior Court charging 77-year-old William Stevenson with Murder in the First Degree,” the department noted.

The northeast is prepping for snow on Saturday, with bitter arctic cold to follow by Sunday morning. 

The National Weather Service issued a winter weather advisory for the areas of Boston, Worcester, Providence and Manchester, New Hampshire, with a winter storm watch issued for Essex County. And a cold weather advisory is in place for Sunday — the city of Boston issued a cold emergency.

Friday is a transitional day, as we get light snow to flurries due to ocean effect offshore and along the coast through the day. Temps will be in the 20s to near 30, with cloudy skies for everyone in New England. Tonight’s lows drop to the teens and 20s, with incoming snow out in western New England.

Saturday snow

The First Alert Weather Team has issued a First Alert for Saturday’s snow. The updated snow map (issued Friday at 11am) shows an increase in totals at the coastline. This is due to a Norlun trough and ocean effect that typically enhances lift and therefore, snowfall. 

Scattered snow showers will start up in western New England Friday night, moving into Boston by sunrise Saturday. The heaviest snowfall rates seem to develop around midday Saturday and from the New Hampshire coast, then spinning down into the south shore by mid afternoon through Saturday evening. 

The scattered snow showers taper inland, while the mountains see several inches of snow due to upslope development Saturday evening. Lingering outer Cape Cod snow showers will be around for Saturday night with a gusty northwest breeze. Stay tuned to snow map adjustments as the system develops. 

Dangerous cold Sunday

Another First Alert is on for Sunday as we see the coldest temperatures and wind chills of this season.  Extreme Cold Warnings and Advisories are up for Saturday night through Sunday midday.  Wind chills will be -20 to -30 degrees as actual lows drop to around zero. The wind remains strong 30-40 mph gusts from the northwest Sunday morning, slowly subsiding to 20 mph gusts at night. 

The cold means it is a great day to stay inside and watch all the Patriots Super Bowl coverage on NBC10 Boston. The big game will be warm and in the 60s by kickoff out in California. 

10-day outlook

The cold remains for Monday as highs will be in the teens to 20s with some sun. Slowly, we see milder air returning midweek as highs reach the mid 30s. 

A wintry mix to snow showers will be around as a system moves in for Wednesday into the end of the week. There’s a possibility that the storms stalls offshore in the Gulf of Maine for the end of the week and if that happens, we will trend colder with snow near the shoreline. Another model shows a similar trend with the system stalling nearby, but with less precipitation from it. 

Stay tuned to updates on the forecast as we near Valentine’s Day next weekend.
