A former student-teacher at a Sussex County elementary school would be sentenced to four years in prison if she pleads guilty to having sexual relations with one of her students, under a plea bargain offer made today.

Lindsay Massaro, 25, was given until Feb. 14 to accept the offer, which would require her to plead guilty to one count of second-degree sexual assault. Superior Court Judge N. Peter Conforti, sitting in Newton, told Massaro that she could face up to 46½ years in prison if she is convicted of all of the six charges against her, including first-degree aggravated assault. The judge also said Massaro would be required to undergo a psychosexual evaluation to determine if she was a "compulsive and repetitive" sexual offender and would be subject to Megan’s Law supervision for life.

Massaro, a former eighth-grade student-teacher at the Frankford Elementary School, was arrested March 30, 2009, and accused of having a sexual relationship with a student, according to her arrest affidavit. The boy was at least 13 and younger than 16, the affidavit said.

Massaro is accused of having sexual trysts with the boy in her car in Branchville and in the bedroom of her home in Frankford in the days prior to her arrest. According to the affidavit, Massaro admitted having a consensual sexual relationship with the boy.

Former Sussex Skyhawks mascot receives three years probation for possessing child pornography

A 24-year-old resident who formerly worked as the Scooter mascot at Sussex Skyhawks baseball games was sentenced to three years probation for endangering the welfare of a minor by possessing child pornography, the Sussex County Prosecutor’s Office said today.  Patrick Davenport, who lives in the Highland Lakes section of Vernon, was also ordered to perform 180 days of community service, obtain a psychosexual evaluation and continue outpatient therapy.

Davenport had admitted possessing “numerous” computer-generated photos of children engaged in sexual acts or in the simulation of such acts between May 28, 2009, and July 17, 2009, the day of his arrest, the prosecutor’s office said. As part of a plea-bargain agreement, he pleaded guilty in November to fourth-degree endangering the welfare of a minor. Although Davenport worked as the Scooter mascot at the time of his arrest, prosecutors have said there is no evidence of illegal behavior by Davenport in his role as the mascot.

Is it 4 years of prison or probation? I do not approve of what she did but 4 years in jail in a state that is bankrupt sounds excessive. Most ofo the politicians in NJ should be in jail.

Modern pedagogic theory holds that a student can’t learn a subject simply from books.

4 years??

The bullet to the brain should be the accepted penalty for sex with a minor.

Catholic priests have nothing over public school teachers.

Without taking a class like that it is hard to tell.
