A Newark high school teacher was arrested Monday on charges he was having sex with a 16-year-old student.
Jeffrey Harrington was dragged out of Malcolm X Shabazz High School by police shortly before the school let out for the day. The Essex County Prosecutor?s Office has confirmed the man was arrested for allegedly sleeping with a student.
Colleagues and school administrators are remaining tight lipped, and students at the school say they were instructed not to talk to the media.
