Luisa Melchionne, 47, of New Canaan, was leaving Connecticut Superior Court in Stamford following a hearing on Tuesday.

It’s been just over two months that Melchionne allegedly sexually assaulted a student at Nathan Hale Middle School in Norwalk.

Police launched an investigation after a male friend of the school employee found messages that “appeared sexual in nature” on her phone, according to an arrest affidavit obtained by the Norwalk Hour.

Authorities discovered the messages included explicit photos of the married mother of three as well as money transactions.

The child told investigators that he received nude photos from Melchionne, along with payments for Uber rides, food and $100 around Christmas in 2023, according to the affidavit.

The student also revealed the counselor allegedly performed “lap dances” and other sexual acts with him.

Melchionne resigned from Norwalk Public schools on June 14, according to a spokesperson for the district.

“The safety of our students is our first concern,” the district said in a statement in July.

“Norwalk Public Schools is cooperating with the Norwalk Police Department’s investigation and has no further comment.”

Melchionne has been charged with second-degree sexual assault and two counts of risk of injury to a minor.

She was being held in lieu of $500,000 bail and was arraigned at state Superior Court in Stamford Thursday, according to Norwalk Police Sgt. Ryan Evarts, the Hour reported.

If she posts bond, she must undergo GPS monitoring, intensive probation services and house arrest.

She was also ordered not to have any unsupervised contact with minors except her three children.
