Update, 3:30 p.m.: Triton Teachers Plead Guilty to Sex Scandal Charges.

------------------

At least some of the five teachers and administrators charged in the Triton teacher-student sex scandal are expected in court today.

Camden County Prosecutor's Office spokesman Jason Laughlin sent out a short note saying there's a status conference hearing at 2 p.m. in the Camden County Courthouse in Camden. Laughlin did not elaborate, but did note some of the defendants may attend the hearing.

Three Triton Regional High School teachers and two administrators are suspended with pay after the scandal broke in October 2012. Teachers Jeffrey Logandro and Daniel Michielli are charged with varying degrees of inappropriate contact with students; teacher Nicholas Martinelli is charged with official misconduct. 

Triton principal Catherine DePaul and vice principal Jernee Kollock, who allegedly knew about the teachers' relationships with the students, but did not report them to authorities, also are charged.
