29 Year old Sharon Elementary School computer technician Carl A. Alb was charged by Robbinsville police with third degree invasion of privacy for allegedly using hidden video cameras to spy on female Sharon school employees. Two miniature wireless cameras were discovered under secretaries’ desks in the school’s main office and were discovered when a staff member went under the desk to plug in a cell phone charger. A third camera was discovered by police under a female teacher’s desk. Police are stressing that no children were involved in any way with these cameras. Alb has been employed with the district for five years and whether he should be terminated will be discussed at the next board meeting on July 28.
Robbinsville Mayor David Fried has sued two Robbinsville residents, one a Sharon Elementary school secretary, over a web site which he believes spread lies about him before the last mayoral election. Fried has targeted Tara Whitlock and Laura Friedman even though he has admitted that he’s not sure who actually created the site. Apparently Ms. Whitlock forwarded the allegedly libelous website’s address to teachers and other employees at Sharon school.
“The site contained “a whole litany of accusations claiming I owned property in town, committed crimes, all sorts of things,” he said, while adding that none of the statements are true. One of the entries on the site related to action taken against the mayor by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Another claimed that he had been charged with assaulting a police officer when he was in his 20s.”
Mayor David Fried defeated Sonja Walter in yesterday’s mayoral election by nearly a two to one margin. There was a voter turnout of about 24%. Vincent Calcagno and Sheree McGowan won seats on the town council, also by large margins.
In an effort to raise much needed revenue, the Robbinsville school board has contracted with Middletown-based Corporate Marketing Association to provide advertisements in the high school’s commons area, the gymnasium, football field and on the school district’s website.Among the advertisers believed to be interested in plastering their name in the high school are Modell’s Sporting Goods. CMA not only coordinates the advertising but they take a 30% chunk of the revenue as well.
Following up on a story we reported over a year ago, former Pond Road Middle School teacher Daniel Corvino has pleaded guilty to sending live sexually explicit images of himself over the Internet to a teenage girl. Corvino, 32, of Theresa Street in Ewing, pleaded guilty to endangering the welfare of a child in exchange for a suspended sentence. Corvino was accused of pictures of himself touching his genital area to a 14-year-old Robbinsville girl last year and has been free on $100,000 bail.
Corvino made a plea agreement and will receive a four year suspended sentence and be subject to parole supervision for life. Sentencing is scheduled for June 29th.
Corvino must submit to a psychological evaluation to determine if he is a repetitive and compulsive sex offender, and register as a sex offender under Megan’s Law. Aside from forfeiting his teaching privileges h will also be restricted from social networking sites and ordered to have no unsupervised contact with children under 16 years of age.
