PISCATAWAY, N.J. – A former New Jersey teacher and coach who was fired for having sex with a student is claiming prosecutors are pursuing criminal charges because he’s a black man.
mcconney-adrianPiscataway High School physical education teacher and girl’s soccer coach Adrian McConney, 39, was arrested and charged with official misconduct in 2013 when school officials realized he was engaged in a sexual relationship with an 18-year-old student, NJ.com reports.
The case was dismissed by Superior Court Judge Bradley Ferencz in 2014 because the student was an adult, but Middlesex County Prosecutor appealed the decision to the Appellate Division, which overturned the ruling last July, according to My Central Jersey.
