Ex-Notre Dame High School Teacher's License Revoked After He Admits Fondling Student

LAWRENCEVILLE, NJ — Notre Dame High School in Lawrenceville has revoked the license of a former teacher who admitted to inappropriately touching a female student, nj.com reports. Edmund J. Harman, 27, has been charged with three counts of endangering the welfare of a child and one count of criminal sexual contact. After charges were filed, he was suspended by the school.

He later pleaded guilty to fourth-degree criminal sexual contact, but the child endangerment charges were dropped, according to the report. He was sentenced to three years of probation and ordered to have no contact with the victim.

He was arrested at his home in Franklin Township last April. Authorities say Harman fondled a female student when she came into school early to earn extra credit one morning last year. He also kissed the back of her neck, massaged her back and legs and told her to send him naked pictures of herself. He was a kinesiology teacher at the school, and the track and field coach at the Diocese of Trenton School.
