Former Bergen Music Teacher Gave Porn To Minor: Prosecutor
A former Northern Highlands teacher is charged after investigators determined he had sexual conversations with a minor, officials said.
WAYNE, NJ — A former Northern Highlands High School music teacher allegedly engaged in sexual conversations with a minor, and also provided them with pornographic materials, the Bergen County Prosecutor announced.
Kyle Kubicki, of Wayne, was arrested this week and charged with endangering the welfare of a child and providing obscenity to a minor.
The arrest comes after the New Jersey Institutional Abuse Investigation Unit contacted the Prosecutor’s Office Special Victims Unit to report information about Kubicki's "sexually inappropriate conduct with a child under the age of eighteen." The Ho-Ho-Kus Police Department received similar information about Kubicki, the prosecutor said.
