Former teacher pleads guilty in sex tape case Posted by the Asbury Park Press on 03/8/07 STAFF REPORT
TOMS RIVER A former teacher in the Asbury Park, Toms River Regional and North Brunswick school districts admitted in court today that he secretly videotaped sex with his onetime fiancee and later threatened to expose the tape to a new boyfriend. Daniel S. McHarris, 40, of Corbin Court, Lakewood pleaded guilty before Superior Court Judge Wendel E. Daniels to criminal coercion, carrying a maximum prison term of a year and a half. Supervising Asssistant Ocean County Prosecutor Michel A. Paulhus said that under a plea bargain, the prosecutor's office would seek to dismiss three additional charges of invasion of privacy and would recommend that McHarris receive a sentence of no more than 90 days in jail. McHarris worked at Asbury Park Middle School as a health and physical education teacher from September 2004 until August 2005, according to school officials. He was a track, basketball and football coach and a substitute teacher in the Toms River Regional School District from 1987 to 1993. McHarris stood trial in Middlesex County in 2001 and was acquitted of charges he fondled students at North Brunswick Tonwship High School, where he was a coach and teacher from 1997 until September 1999. McHarris is scheduled to be sentenced in the videotaping case on May 4. ------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Sponsor --------------------~--> Check out the new improvements in Yahoo!
