JERSEY CITY, N.J. (AP) - Authorities say a New Jersey teacher accused of inappropriately touching several students is now facing more charges.
Hudson County prosecutors said Friday that Sean Lora faces charges of sexual contact and child endangerment after another alleged victim came forward following Lora’s arrest earlier this month. The new counts come the same day the 42-year-old Bayonne man is due to appear at a detention hearing.
Lora taught at a Jersey City middle school. It’s not clear if he’s been suspended from his job or if he’s retained an attorney.
Authorities say a student there alleged that Lora inappropriately touched her while they were in a classroom with other students. School officials notified authorities, and the subsequent investigation found that other students also claimed Lora had inappropriately touched them on previous occasion.
