A New Jersey high school teacher and coach was arrested after prosecutors say he had an inappropriate sexual relationship with a student.
Anthony Linder-Creo, 24, was charged with four counts of second-degree sexual assault and one count of second-degree endangering the welfare of a child.
It's alleged that Linder-Creo, a business teacher and multi-sport coach at Steinert High School, had sex with a 17-year-old student at his Robbinsville home in August.
Linder-Creo was arrested on Thursday and is being held in the Mercer County Correction Center pending a detention hearing.
Hamilton schools Superintendent Scott Rocco said that as soon as the school was made aware of the investigation, Linder-Creo was suspended and a "termination of employment notice" was issued. The district fully cooperated with the investigation, according to Rocco.
"My paramount concern is the safety of our students. We have no tolerance for any actions that harm or could potentially harm our students," Rocco said in a statement. "All employees go through a background check which includes fingerprinting through the state, instructional certification through the state, interviews, and references."
The superintendent stressed that it is important that members of the community contact the district when they believe there is a problem or they have a concern with an educator.
