Assistant pastor for Mahwah Full Gospel Church charged with sexual assault

Posted by jefhenninger on December 2, 2009

Curtis Franklin, the assistant pastor for Mahwah Full Gospel Church in Bergen County has been charged with sexual assault, criminal sexual contact and child endangerment. The State alleges that he assaulting a girl, whom he met through the church’s youth ministry, about six years ago.  What took six years and why all of a sudden this came up is unknown. 

I’m not sure how much assistant pastors make but he really needs a good attorney.  It is possible to win this case if the attorney knows what he or she is doing.  The timing of all this will be the key focus of the case.  Of course, this assumes that he did not confess.

Edison high school coach/South Plainfield teacher charged with sexual assault

Posted by jefhenninger on December 2, 2009

Let the debate begin.  Another female teacher charged with sexual contact wiith a minor.  My guess is that she will not do any jail time.  She’ll get a union attorney and this case will go away quickly.  These cases just seem to have a pattern. 

Sarah Blessing, 27, of South Plainfield, a coach at Bishop George Ahr High School and a fifth-grade teacher at Park Middle School in Scotch Plains, has been charged with sexual assault, criminal sexual contact and endangering the welfare of a girl. The State alleges that she had a relationship with a girl that began in June and continued until her arrest.
