Prosecutor: South Jersey Teacher Photographed Students Without Their Knowledge

A Gloucester County Institute of Technology teacher has been charged with invasion of privacy, endangering the welfare of a child and official misconduct, all related to the creation of images of private areas of students at the school without their knowledge.

Adam L. Mayr, 37, of Washington Township, allegedly committed all the acts in the school, the Gloucester County Prosecutor’s Office said Monday morning.

Students initially reported the allegations. Once the school’s administration became aware of the allegations on Thursday, they notified law enforcement the same day.

Mayr was charged with nine counts on each of the three offenses on Friday, and was placed in Salem County Jail in default of $300,000 bail.

The Major Crimes Unit of the Gloucester County Prosecutor’s Office investigated the allegations, with assistance from the Gloucester County Sheriff’s Office.

The Gloucester County Prosecutor’s Office is working with the GCIT administration to identify all affected students and notify their families. Anyone with information about possibly affected students is asked to contact the GCPO Major Crimes Unit at 856-384-5500.
