SANDWICH, Mass. (WHDH) — A former substitute teacher in Sandwich pleaded not guilty to charges of indecent assault and battery of a child.

Blake Rider, 37, was arraigned Monday at Barnstable District Court. Officials said his charges are unrelated to his former job as a substitute teacher and none of his students were involved.

The Sandwich Superintendents’ Office said Rider had not worked for the district since 2015.
