Wicked Local A former Needham middle school teacher who is accused of raping a student several years ago while employed as a teacher in Hudson is now banned from working or volunteering with children. Caitlin Harding, 37, of Wellesley, pleaded not guilty Friday in Middlesex Superior Court to several charges in connection with the rape allegations. Judge Hélène Kazanjian released Harding, who was arraigned via video conference, without bail, but ordered her to have no unsupervised contact with children younger than 18 and to not work or volunteer with children. A Middlesex grand jury indicted Harding of rape of a child by force; three counts of aggravated rape of a child; and five counts of indecent assault and battery on a child younger than 14.
