A former Morris Catholic High School teacher arrested on sexual assault charges allegedly engaged in years-long relationships with two female students that included sending nude pictures and a sexually explicit gift to at least one victim.
In an affidavit filed in Denville municipal court on Sunday, local police said Carlos Franco-Leon, 42, of Rockaway Township, also arranged a rendezvous at a nearby hotel with one girl and engaged in sexual activity with another in the classroom. The girls’ names and ages were not released by police.
On Sunday, Morris County Prosecutors announced the charges against Franco-Leon, who had also been volleyball coach at the school. He left Morris Catholic in 2018 and later became the varsity girls volleyball coach at Roselle Catholic High School in Union County, but has been suspended from that job as well, a spokeswoman for the Archdiocese of Newark said over the weekend.
