A Hamilton Township teacher accused of having sexual relationship with a student has been dismissed from his position.

According to officials, Anthony Linder-Creo, 24, had sexual relations with a 17-year-old female student in his home in Robbinsville in August. Linder-Creo is a business teacher and a coach at Steinert High School.

The district superintendent said in a statement that as soon as he was notified, they fully cooperated with the Hamilton Township Police Department and the Mercer County Prosecutor's Office to assist in their investigation. In addition, immediate action was taken to not only suspend Linder-Creo, but he was also issued a termination of employment notice by the district.

Linder-Credo was arrested and charged Thursday with four counts of sexual assault in the second degree and one count of endangering the welfare of a child in the second degree. He's being held in the Mercer County Correction Center pending a detention hearing.
