NJ Teacher Guilty of Sex with Boy

(Freehold, New Jersey) Originally charged in 2009, a former teacher at the Rugby School in Wall NJ, Brandi E. Shroyer, has pleaded guilty in accordance with an agreement to criminal sexual contact with a 16-year-old male student.

Acting Monmouth County Prosecutor Christopher Gramiccioni said the state will recommend Shroyer receive a 364-day jail sentence as a condition of probation, as well as register as a sex offender under Megan’s Law at the consent of the victim and his family.

Shroyer was employed as a teacher’s aide and clinical assistant for 1½ years at the school. She used her position to develop a relationship with the victim, which eventually turned sexual, authorities said.

She was fired after her June 2009 arrest, and she has not been employed by a school since, Gramiccioni said.

Formal sentencing by Superior Court Judge Lisa P. Thornton is scheduled for November 16.
