Police say he invaded a home on the 1800 block of south rosewood street on monday.

Investigators think hes the same man who the a tacked another woman at home on the 1700 block of south chadwick street back in march. In that case the victim was with her two young children. Altogether they managed to fight him off. The idea of using children, you know, just their presence alone, using that as a shield or a means to get what you want its something wrong about that, folks.

Authorities in cape may county, new jersey have busted a widespread student sexting ring and one School Officials believes investigators only cracked the surface of a much deeper problem. Erin ohearn is live at the big board with that story. Reporter matt, this was a big bust. It involved 20 students already, 19 juveniles and one 18yearold. All of those charged with invasion of privacy were from lower cape may regional high and Teitelman Middle School and that is all a part of lower cape may Regional School district. Now, investigators say last month the female student told School Officials boys were passing around naked pictures of her friend by text which led to police seizing 30 cell phones that had images of partially nude or nude girls. What may be more troubling is the superintendent says this may not be the end of it and there may be more students involved and more nude pictures. According to parents this is all part of some game in which the girls actual are aware the boys are trading the pictures and several girls actually shared the photos. So far no female students have been charged, something that is not settling well with one parent who did not want to be identified. They need to step back and really take a full look at this. I mean, the girls are just as responsible as the boys. Reporter many of the students who are charged have retained attorneys and action news is told theyre cooperating with police but invasion of privacy is a third degree crime and could come with jail time for the 18yearold student.
