HAMILTON TOWNSHIP, N.J. (1010 wins) — A 76-year-old former high school teacher was arrested on Monday for sexually abusing an underage student between 1998 and 2000, according to the Mercer County Prosecutor’s Office.
Joseph DePuglio, who taught at Steinert High School in Hamilton Township, allegedly had sex with an underage student at his Ewing home.
The now-adult woman reported the incident to Ewing police last year, and DePuglio’s arrest comes after an investigation into the allegation.
DePuglio was charged with sexual assault and endangering the welfare of a child.
His next court date is scheduled for May 17.
DePuglio retired in 2008 after 40 years working in public schools.
