Pre-K Aide Sexually Assaulted NJ Children For 11 Years, Prosecutors Say

SOMERS POINT, NJ — A pre-kindergarten aide from Somers Point is accused of sexually assaulting multiple children over 10 years, creating child sexual abuse material, according to officials.

Shaun M. Stebbins, 43, sexually assaulted multiple children under the age of 13 from 2014 to 2025, the Atlantic County Prosecutor's Office said.

He also created and possessed child sexual abuse material, commonly known as child porn, authorities said.

Stebbins works as a pre-kindergarten aide at Woodbine Elementary School, Prosecutor William E. Reynolds said.

“We are issuing this press release to make the public aware of these heinous allegations. We are deeply concerned that there may be additional victims, particularly given the defendant’s access to children through his employment,” Reynolds said in a statement.

“As we have seen in other recent cases, individuals who prey on children often place themselves in positions of trust within schools, organizations, and youth programs to gain access to victims,” he added.

Stebbins is charged with first-degree aggravated sexual assault of a victim under the age of 13, first-degree permitting a child to engage in pornography, second-degree photographing a child in a sex act, second-degree endangering the welfare of a child by sexual conduct, third-degree showing obscene material to a minor, and fourth-degree criminal sexual contact.
