Camden County Music Teacher Indicted On Sexual Assault Charges

CAMDEN, N.J. (AP) — A music teacher at a southern New Jersey high school will now be suspended without pay after he was indicted on numerous charges stemming from an alleged sexual relationship with a female student.

Camden County prosecutors say 29-year-old Daniel Poussart, of Pine Hill, faces two counts of child endangerment, five counts of sexual assault, six counts of criminal sexual contact and an official misconduct charge in the indictment recently handed up by a county grand jury. It was made public Wednesday.

A drama teacher at Overbrook High School in Pine Hill, Poussart allegedly engaged in sexual acts with the student during a two-month period late last year. At the time, he had a supervisory teaching relationship to the victim.

Poussart had been suspended with pay following his arrest in January. He remains jailed on $450,000 bail.
