A New Jersey elementary school teacher was indicted for allegedly abusing a student over the course of several years

Caron was arrested in January, with the grand jury’s indictment coming down last week. She is now charged with aggravated sexual assault, which carries a penalty of 10 to 20 years in prison, in addition to sexual assault and endangering the welfare of a child, which each carry potential penalties of five to 10 years, Cape May County Prosecutor Jeffrey H. Sutherland announced. 

The prosecutor’s office did not mention anything about the child in its press releases.

“These allegations are deeply disturbing, particularly given the position of trust the defendant held in relation to the victim,” Sutherland said. 

The Middle Township Police Department investigated the case after the boy’s father posted on Facebook, according to a report.  (Middle Township Police Department)

“Our office remains committed to protecting the most vulnerable members of our community and will continue to aggressively investigate and prosecute those who violate that trust,” he added.
