Perth Amboy High School Teacher Accused of Having Sex with Student
A high school football coach and substitute teacher has been arrested and charged with having a sexual relationship with a Perth Amboy high school student. According to a recent news article, 25-year-old Demond Edwards of Woodbridge was charged with sexual assault in Perth Amboy and endangering the welfare of a child – both second-degree offenses.
Investigation by the Perth Amboy Police Department and the Middlesex County Prosecutor’s Office also reportedly revealed that Edwards had sent “inappropriate” text messages to a second female at the high school where he worked as a permanent substitute teacher. The investigation apparently began after the two victims told officials about their teacher.
Sex assault charges are serious especially when they involve minors. The teacher in this case, if convicted, will lose his job, most likely never work as a teacher again and will be required to register as a sex offender wherever he goes. A sex crime conviction will go on your permanent record and seriously jeopardize your career and your future.
Sex crime cases, especially those involving minors and young children, can be complex and difficult to defend.
