PHILADELPHIA (KYW Newsradio) — A pre-K teacher’s aide in Cape May County is accused of sexually assaulting multiple children and creating images of child sexual abuse for more than a decade.
Prosecutors in Atlantic County said 43-year-old Shaun Stebbins, of Somers Point, has been abusing kids since 2014.
Stebbins is charged with first-degree aggravated sexual assault of a victim under the age of 13, first-degree permitting a child to engage in pornography, second-degree photographing a child in a sex act, second-degree endangering the welfare of a child by sexual conduct, third-degree showing obscene material to a minor, and fourth-degree criminal sexual contact.
Prosecutors said Stebbins works at Woodbine Elementary School.
He was arrested on March 29 and is being held at the Atlantic County Justice Facility awaiting a detention hearing on Monday.
Atlantic County prosecutor William Reynolds said there are four known victims, all nieces and nephews of Stebbins, and each victim was abused many times while under his care between 2014 and 2025.
“We are concerned that there are other victims out there,” he said. “Now, to be clear, the victims that were identified — not by name because they are under the age of 18 — are relatives. We’re concerned because he put himself in a position to work around children and that there are other victims out there.”
Reynolds said the specific allegations are heinous, graphic, and hard to read.
