LAWRENCE TOWNSHIP, N.J. (AP) - A boarding school teacher accused of inappropriately touching two teenage boys while they slept has been freed from jail pending his trial.
A judge ruled Thursday that Dominic Brown could be released to his father’s custody. The 23-year-old is charged with criminal sexual contact and child endangerment.
Authorities say Brown entered the boys’ dorm rooms at The Lawrenceville School early Saturday and touched the youths, ages 14 and 15. The teens alerted public safety.
Brown was fired from his job after being charged. It’s not clear if he’s retained an attorney.
He taught history and coached water polo at the school, which was founded in 1810 and is one of the oldest prep schools in the United States. Its alumni include musicians Huey Lewis and Dierks Bentley, publisher Malcolm Forbes and Disney executive Michael Eisner.
