A 28-year-old Rutherford woman has been arrested this week on sexual assault charges after authorities revealed that they suspected her of having sexual contact with a student. The woman, who was arrested on May 2, also faces charges of endangering the welfare of a child, according to the Bergen County Prosecutors Office. Both of those crimes are second-degree felonies.
The woman is a softball coach at a local high school, and she also teaches at a school in Washington Township. The investigation into the matter began when the woman's softball players notified school officials that she may have been involved sexually with a male student at their institution.

That effort has led to no fewer than eight arrests and citations during the past week alone.
The employee was reportedly bruised, but says she wasn't seriously injured. The younger woman had been attempting to flee from questioning during the incident on April 20 at The Mason Jar in Mahwah, according to authorities.

Some people do not realize that anyone can be charged with a crime. While it seems like underprivileged individuals are accused of crimes more often than the privileged, anyone can face criminal allegations. It does not matter if you are a teacher, lawyer or doctor. However, what if you were the son of a well-known politician? In this case, the philosophy still holds true.
In recent news, the son of Bergen County Executive Kathleen Donovan was arrested on drug charges Thursday. According to reports, the 20-year-old man is accused of smoking marijuana with two underage girls inside the home of his parent.
