Laura Caron, a 34-year-old teacher at Middle Township Elementary School, was arrested and charged with first-degree aggravated sexual assault and other offenses. The charges stem from an anonymous tip alleging Caron sexually assaulted a student while they lived in her home. The investigation revealed that the alleged victim is the father of Caron's 5-year-old child. The school district has suspended Caron pending the outcome of the investigation.
A Middle Township Elementary School teacher, Laura Caron , 34, was arrested and charged with first-degree aggravated sexual assault and other offenses. The investigation began on December 12th when the school district superintendent received an anonymous tip alleging a teacher, later identified as Laura R. Caron, had sexually assaulted a student. The tip cited a Facebook message posted by the student's father, claiming Caron's 5-year-old child resembled him and his son.
Caron's child was born in 2019, when Caron was 28 and the alleged victim was 13 and living in her home. The teenager told police earlier this month that he is the father of his former teacher's child. It was revealed that Caron had taught both the alleged victim and his brother during their fifth-grade year. The boys' mother became acquainted with Caron, and the parents eventually allowed their children to stay at Caron's home. Initially, sleepovers happened one or two nights a week, but the siblings moved in permanently from 2016 to 2020. The boys' sister, who also spent time at Caron's home, told police the alleged victim began sleeping there at the age of 11. She shared that she noticed her brother frequently in Caron's bed upon waking and observed Caron entering the bathroom where her brother showered, locking the door. The alleged victim's brother also stated he witnessed Caron sexually assaulting his sibling, according to court documents. The sister provided police with a screenshot of a text conversation between her and her brother, in which he allegedly confessed to being the father of Caron's child. He reportedly asked his sister not to disclose the information to prevent his former teacher from facing legal consequences. On January 5th, the alleged victim stated to police that Caron sexually assaulted him approximately twice a week during his time living with her and reaffirmed that he is the father of her child. The police documents do not specify when the siblings ceased living with Caron. The alleged victim claimed he continued communicating with Caron until his father's Facebook post last month. Caron was arrested on Wednesday and charged with first-degree aggravated sexual assault, second-degree sexual assault, and endangering the welfare of a child by the Cape May County Prosecutor's Office. She was taken to the Cape May County jail. School district officials stated that Caron was suspended once they became aware of the criminal investigation. They emphasized their commitment to prioritizing the safety of students and providing a secure learning environment. David Salvo, the Middle Township school district superintendent, assured parents that the district is taking every step to ensure the well-being of their children and is collaborating closely with the Prosecutor's Office to ensure a thorough investigation
