Prosecutor: 'Moral, Ethical and Legal Failures' in Triton Sex Case

Three Triton teachers and two administrators face charges of official misconduct in the teacher-student sex scandal.

Three Triton Regional High School teachers allegedly carried on sexual relationship with now-former students while two administrators covered up the reported sex crimes, the Camden County Prosecutor's Office announced Thursday. The teachers—Jeffrey Logandro, Nicholas Martinelli and Daniel Michielli—were placed on administrative leave at separate times in the investigation late this summer and earlier in the school year. Logandro, of Deptford, and Michielli, of Blackwood, are charged with a number of sex crimes for alleged contact with underaged victims. Martinelli, of Cherry Hill, has only been charged with official misconduct at this point, as his alleged victim was 18 at the time.  Also charged in connection with the prosecutor's office …

I agree Hadenough. The culture at that school had to be terribly wrong. I'm sorry to say that I'm not completely surprised. I'm sure nepotism and patronage play a part here also. I really can't believe what the principal did here? That is the most disturbing aspect. What in the heck are you thinking? It's not like these girls met these guys in a bar. The teacher is in a position of authority for …   more ›

‘Shocked,' ‘Astonished’ Triton Students React to Sex Scandal

Triton students chant “free Martinelli!” after learning that three teachers are charged with engaging in sexual acts with students.

As Triton Regional High School students learned today that the rumors swirling around the halls for months resulted in criminal charges, several expressed their dismay over allegations teachers had sexual contact with minors and administrators covered it up. The mood was mixed outside of Triton Thursday, as some students left school chanting “free Martinelli!” Others said they were disappointed that popular teachers allegedly engaged in the illegal relationships. Math teachers Jeff Logandro and Daniel Michielli and gym teacher Nicholas Martinelli all face charges of having sexual relationships with students. Two administrators—principal Catherine DePaulo and vice principal Jernee Kollock—are charged with allegedly helping to hide the …

Really Maria?!?! These girls were not victims, and I'll bet big money that they were the primary pursuers here. Most women know that this is just about every man's weakness, and the naughty schoolgirl is pretty hard to resist. I'd bet that the girls WERE the seducers, and while I'm not condoning the men's actions (they should have known better), it's a shame that the girls will probably get off …   more ›

I am a current student at Rasmussen Business College and I am working on a paper about unethical issues going on. I choose this topic because it is very unethical not only what the teachers did but also what the administration did and that was nothing the principle and vice principle wanted to protect the teachers, good looking out both of you. Did they even consider the students and what they …   more ›
