A substitute teacher who works in Camden County, New Jersey has been charged with aggravated sexual assault of a 14-year-old girl, according to authorities.
Rebecca Coddington, 27, of Browns Mills has been charged with two counts of first-degree aggravated sexual assault, six counts of second-degree sexual assault, two counts of third-degree aggravated criminal sexual contact and two counts of third-degree endangering the welfare of a child, according to prosecutors.
I will admit to some surprise that NBC10 in foul, fetid, fuming, foggy, filthy Philadelphia noted that the victim of a female teacher was a girl. The media like to keep that stuff secret. But Steve Keeley of Fox 29 News published the Camden County Prosecutor’s press release, so it was never a secret which would keep. Her Facebook page states that she is “in a relationship” with a male, but if you want to check that, look quickly, because it will doubtlessly be taken down soon.
Aggravated sexual assault in the first degree is generally punished with a sentenced of 10 to 20 years in prison, and Miss Coddington faces two counts. Second degree sexual assault is a second degree crime in the Garden State, with a usual sentence of 5 to 10 years.
Prosecutors said during an investigation, detectives from the Camden County Prosecutor’s Office Special Victims Unit and the Gloucester Township Police Department had learned during an investigation that a 14-year-old girl was sexually assaulted multiple times by Coddington at a private residence in Gloucester Township during the period of September 2019, until Dec. 29 of last year.
Coddington was a substitute teacher in the Runnemede Public School District, but no allegations have been brought forward involving students, prosecutors said.
So, the victim was being raped from ages 14 to 18 now? And Miss Coddington, who is now listed as being 27-years-old, was 23 when the (alleged) assaults began?
If the lovely Miss Coddington is guilty of the offenses with which she is charged, she should never again see the sun from outside of prison walls, but the odds are that she’ll cop a plea deal.
