Craig Yarnall, 37, a physical education teacher at Colonia Middle School in Woodbridge, New Jersey has been arrested and charged with sexual assault and official misconduct.
Yarnall, who also served as the girl’s junior varsity soccer coach at Colonia High School, was allegedly caught with the 17-year-old female student in a pickup truck in a park on Sunday by a Woodbridge police officer.
It is alleged during the course of their investigation that police discovered that Yarnall had a sexual relationship with the girl that began in April, when she was 16.
Following his arrest Yarnall was placed on paid administrative leave by the school system.
No bail has been set for Yarnall as of yet.

05/22/08 - Guilty Plea
Craig Yarnall pleaded guilty this morning to official misconduct for having sex with a teenage girl.
Under the terms of a plea deal Yarnall agreed to a three-year prison term in exchange for his guilty plea. However, Yarnall could be accepted into an intensive parole supervision program, making it possible for him to be released from prison early.
Formal sentencing is set for July 18 and Yarnall remains free on bail to await sentencing.

ya he deserves to be in jail. i knew from the first moment i saw him, he was a creep. i knew because every few weeks he would show all of the kids in the class pictures of him without his shirt on. what made the matters worse was that he was my gym teacher and he was in the same locker room as me. that made me extra nervouse. feel bad for the girl.

many years ago, a young carpenter came upon a crowd about to stone a woman to death for alleged sexual crimes. He said to the crowd,”Let he among you who is without sin cast the first stone.”
The crowd dispersed. Perhaps we could all learn a lesson.
