Haddon Heights Teacher, Arrested – A high school teacher in the state of New Jersey has been charged with possessing and distributing child pornography by the authorities. According to an affidavit of probable cause that was submitted in the case, investigators in Washington Township, Gloucester County, received a tip regarding the distribution of child pornographic content online through the National Centre for Missing and Exploited Children.
They were able to trace video uploads to an IP address that belonged to Joseph C. Dalessandro, 37, of Washington Township. It has been confirmed by the district that Dalessandro is currently working as a teacher at Haddon Heights Junior/Senior High School, which is located in Camden County. There is no mention of Dalessandro’s position as a teacher in his charges and allegations. An affidavit filed by the police states that during the search of Dalessandro’s apartment, numerous items relating to the sexual abuse of children were discovered on his phone.
Allegedly, the videos were disseminated through the use of a messaging application. The charges against him were brought on Thursday, and they included possession of child pornography in the third degree, possession of child pornography in the first degree, and possession of child pornography in the second degree with the intent to endanger distribution. As of Friday afternoon, the court records did not contain any details about an attorney for Dalessandro.
On Thursday, the Haddon Heights School District sent a statement to families in which it stated that it was collaborating with the Gloucester County Prosecutor’s Office in a case involving a high school staff member. The message did not list Dalessandro as the individual being investigated. According to the statement sent out by Superintendent Carla E. Bittner, “The staff member has been placed on a leave of absence, is not permitted to contact students and their family members, and is not permitted on district property.” Both of these restrictions have been implemented.
