SPRINGFIELD, Mass. (AP) - A former Holyoke elementary school
teacher who ran off with one of her students has pleaded not guilty
to three counts of aggravated rape and abuse and three counts of
statutory rape.

Her attorney, David Hoose, said Wednesday that 24-year-old Lisa
Lavoie was arraigned in Hampden Superior Court on Tuesday. He says the charges were not unexpected.

Lavoie and the 15-year-old student were reported missing Feb. 16
and were found a week later at a West Virginia motel.

Lavoie pleaded not guilty in Holyoke District Court in March to a charge of enticing a minor under the age of 16.

Lavoie - who's has been fired from her job at a Holyoke elementary school - is out on $25,000 bail.

Hoose says Lavoie is "very upset by the whole experience that
she went through."
