NEW BRUNSWICK — A brother who taught at St. Joseph’s High School in Metuchen surrendered Thursday morning on charges he possessed and viewed child pornography on his computer.

John B. Spalding, 74, surrendered to Superior Court Judge Alberto Rivas in New Brunswick on charges of endangering the welfare of a child and possession and viewing of pornographic material, primarily child pornography.

Spalding’s attorney, William Fetky of New Brunswick, entered not guilty pleas for his client at the brief hearing.

Two men have been arrested and charged with illegally disposing a corpse, the Middlesex County Prosecutor’s Office announced.

Fetky told the judge his client would post his $75,000 bail and then return to his home in Rhode Island, where he comes from.

Middlesex County Assistant Prosecutor Sheree Pitchford said Spaulding is charged with downloading and viewing the material on his computer, which he maintained at the school on June 21, 2015.
