Gabriel Vasquez, a physical education teacher from Union City High School was charged with criminal sexual contact with a 16-year-old female student in his home.  Vasquez, 28 of North Bergen, was also charged with endangering the welfare of a child and official misconduct.  Since he was not charged with sexual assault, he is not alleged to have had sexual intercourse with the student. 

Vasquez is also an assistant football and lacrosse coach.  The victim’s mother contacted school officials after finding out about alleged crimes that occurred this month.  The school then noified the Union City police.  Oddly enough, the official misconduct charges may be the most serious charges that he faces.  My guess is that he will get a union attorney who will quickly plea him out to at the most, a 3 flat, but more likely probation with a small jail term.
