A 35-year-old teacher at Morris Knolls High School in New Jersey has been charged with sexually assaulting a former student. Alyssa Perry is accused of committing the alleged acts against the 17-year-old at her home in Rockaway Township during February and March. The school has suspended Perry, and prosecutors have initiated proceedings against her for two counts of sexual assault and one count of endangering the welfare of a child. Perry was released under pre-trial supervision with conditions that bar her from contacting the victim, students, or the school. The matter is currently being investigated, and no further details have been disclosed.
The alleged incidents came to light when a school administrator informed the Denville Police Department and the Morris County Prosecutor’s Office about the inappropriate behavior. The investigation is ongoing, and more information is expected at a later date. The Morris Knolls High School website lists Perry as a cheerleading coach, and online reports indicate her teaching subjects include math, with a master’s degree in math education from Rutgers University. Fox News Digital has reached out to the school for comment and attempted to contact Perry, who is currently under investigation.
Perry’s next court appearance is scheduled for July 14. The case has sparked widespread attention, highlighting the serious nature of child sexual abuse allegations and the legal implications for educators who engage in such misconduct. The case also raises important questions about accountability and the responsibilities of educational institutions in addressing such violations. As the investigation continues, the community and legal systems remain watchful for further developments.
