Gregg D. Decker, a former substitute teacher in the Southern Regional School District in New Jersey has reportedly been indicted by an Ocean County grand jury on multiple sex charges in connection with allegations by a middle school student in 2005.
Decker has been free on $50,000 bail for more than three years since his arrest.
He came to the attention of authorities in 2005 when the alleged victim’s mother went to investigators and told them “her daughter and the teacher may have had a sexual relationship”. Allegedly the girl confirmed her mother’s suspicions to investigators.
Decker has been charged with first-degree aggravated sexual assault, second-degree sexual assault, second-degree official misconduct, third-degree endangering the welfare of a child and third-degree aggravated criminal sexual contact on allegations.
The alleged sexual contact between Decker and the then 14-year-old girl reportedly occurred between January 1 and February 28, 2005.
