A former teacher at the Torah Academy of Bergen County in Teaneck is under investigation for “inappropriate sexual contact” with a student, a school official confirmed.

“Several weeks ago, a TABC student confided in a TABC teacher that last year he and another TABC teacher (who for independent reasons left the employ of TABC at the end of last year) had inappropriate sexual contact,” said a letter signed by Rabbi Yosef Adler and posted on the Jewish Standard's website.

Adler confirmed the authenticity of the letter to Patch, but said he could not comment further. No charges have been filed, he said.

“TABC has zero tolerance for this type of behavior by adults. Our priorities are the welfare and safety of our students and the community at large,” the letter said.

The letter says the incident was referred to the Bergen County Prosecutor’s Office and that an investigation is underway.

County Prosecutor John Molinelli and an agency spokeswoman did not respond to requests for comment Tuesday night.
