SANDWICH (CBS) - A former substitute teacher for Sandwich Public Schools is accused of sexually assaulting a child.

Blake Rider, 37, was charged with multiple counts of indecent assault and battery on a child under the age of 14.

Rider's neighbors saw him as a respected and likable resident.

They were stunned to hear about the charges against the tree service owner.

Rider faces at least eight charges that date back to 2010.
