Plymouth, Conn./WTIC Radio - Plymouth police have announced the arrests of two women accused of not reporting cases of alleged sexual assault at an elementary school in town.
Former Plymouth Center School principal Sherri Turner and teacher Melissa Morelli are each charged with failure to report abuse, neglect, or injury of a child or imminent risk of serious harm to a child.
The arrests stem from allegations of sexual assault from over a dozen students against former longtime teacher at the school, James Eschert.
Eschert was arrested in January, charged with two counts of fourth degree sexual assault and five counts of risk of injury to a minor. He's accused of physical contact with girls and taking inappropriate photos of them.
In a letter to parents, Plymouth schools superintendent Brian Falcone says two more arrests are expected.
Turner and Morelli are due in court in New Britain September 7th.
