NJ school coach, teacher's aide busted on child porn charges
New Jersey 101.5 - Dec 18th, 2024
A 52-year-old middle school teacher's aide and wrestling coach, Nicholas Cringoli, was arrested in Somerset County for possessing child sex abuse images. Cringoli, who worked at Franklin Middle School-Sampson G. Smith Campus, was charged with second-degree endangering the welfare of a child. A search at his Raritan Borough home revealed multiple images of child sexual exploitation. The investigation was initiated after a tip from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. Cringoli is currently held in Somerset County Jail, with the school district stating the allegations appear unrelated to the school. The public is encouraged to provide any information related to the case anonymously.
