A former teacher at a Butler NJ elementary school teacher recently pleaded guilty to sexually assaulting multiple students in Morris County, NJ.

The suspect is a 42-year-old male who used to reside in Bloomfield, New Jersey. In 1997, at the time of one of the sexual assaults, the suspect was an assistant track coach at Butler High School. The suspect allegedly had sex with a 15-year-old female he met through the school’s track program.

The suspect was also accused of sexually abusing four elementary school students in Montville, New Jersey. Moreover, the suspect reportedly committed a sexual assault against a female student at Cedar Hill Prep School in Franklin Township, NJ.

Before law enforcement became aware of the sexual assault allegations, the suspect taught at Montville High School in Montville, NJ.

Once investigators determined that the suspect had committed the sex crimes, he was placed under arrest and charged with numerous criminal offenses, including aggravated sexual assault and sexual assault.

The suspect managed to avoid the most significant penalties by reaching a plea agreement with the Sussex County Prosecutor’s Office.

When the suspect appears in Sussex County Superior Court next month for a formal sentencing hearing, he will likely be sentenced to 14 years in New Jersey State Prison.
