NJ student teacher among two child porn arrests, prosecutor says
Another two men have been arrested for child pornography, one of them a student teacher in Monmouth County, Burlington County Prosecutor Scott Coffina announced on Friday.
Matthew Natale, 22, of the Marlton section of Evesham, was charged on Tuesday with three counts of endangering the welfare of a child (two second degree, one third degree) and one count of tampering with evidence.
Authorities found that Natale was using email to trade images and videos of pre-pubescent boys, Coffina said.
Middletown Township Public School District ended his student teaching assignment at Middletown High School South after becoming aware of the charges and Natale can have no unsupervised contact with children, among conditions of his release from custody after a first court appearance.
