TENAFLY — A 16-year-old counselor at the Neil Klatsin Day Camp was arrested Tuesday on charges he sexually touched a trio of 6-year-old male campers under his supervision.
Prosecutor John L. Molinelli said the 16-year-old counselor from Teaneck, who has not been identified due to his age, was charged with three counts of sexual assault and three counts of endangering the welfare of a child. He was released to his parents’ custody and is required to wear an electronic monitoring device on his ankle, Molinelli said.
The prosecutor’s office initiated an investigation in late July after supervisors of the day camp, which is run by the Kaplen Jewish Community Center on the Palisades, told Tenafly police that another employee at the Neil Klatskin Day Camp came forward with the allegations, Molinelli said.
That employee directly witnessed the counselor touching a boy inappropriately, the prosecutor told NJ.com.
