Roger Myers, 61, was arrested on multiple sex offenses and assault charges, which allegedly happened at Deep Creek Middle School in Essex. The school said Myers was placed on administrative leave in January. "These charges are deeply troubling," Deep Creek Middle School principal Laura Kelly said in a letter to families.

The girl described the assault by her AP Spanish teacher when she walked into the classroom at Overlea High School two years ago. "She stood up, grabbed me by the hoodie and started punching me over and over and over again and she finally let go," Maysha Tuyas-Perez told WJZ. "I don't remember how many times she punched me." The girls' family filed the lawsuit against the school board over negligence and claiming that the school failed to provide a safe space for students and proper staff training. The family is seeking over $75,000 in damages.

High school teacher charged with sexually assaulting former teen student at her home
A New Jersey high school teacher has been charged with sexually assaulting a former student of hers. Alyssa Perry, 35, a teacher at Morris Knolls High School, is accused of sexually assaulting the then-17-year-old on two occasions at her Rockaway Township residence in February and March, according to the Morris County Prosecutor's Office. Perry is a former teacher and tutor of the victim. She currently works at the school as a teacher where the victim attends, though Perry is currently suspended, prosecutors said. She was charged on Friday with two counts of sexual assault and one count of endangering the welfare of a child. Perry was released under pre-trial supervision with conditions that bar her from contacting the victim, any students or the school. The alleged incidents came to light when a school administrator notified the Denville Police Department and the Morris County Prosecutor's Office of alleged inappropriate behavior, prosecutors said. The investigation remains ongoing, and no further information has been released. The Morris Knolls High School website lists her as a cheerleading coach. Reports online say she teaches math and graduated from Rutgers University, where she earned a master's degree in math education. Fox News Digital has reached out to the school for comment and attempted to reach Parry also. Her next court appearance is set for July 14.

Amid Russian Strikes, a Remote Corner of Ukraine Beckons
It was well past midnight in Mukachevo, a city of cobblestone streets tucked into Ukraine's western tip, and a group of students lingered by the river, debating what to grab from a nearby 24/7 supermarket. A van pulled up, and out spilled a rowdier crowd of young men — loud, tipsy and visibly thirsty for more. It looked like a classic Sunday night, before the workweek begins. But in wartime Ukraine — where curfews and Russian air assaults have turned the nights into something between tense silence and sudden explosions — it was an exceptional scene. 'Here, we do not hear the sound of explosions, we do not have rockets, we do not have frequent air alarms,' said Oleksandr Pop, 20, one of the students. 'We don't have the same experience of war.' Ukraine's capital region of Kyiv has reeled from several recent nights of record-breaking Russian drone attacks, with air raid alerts wailing for nearly 130 hours over the past month. By comparison, Mukachevo and the surrounding region of Transcarpathia have endured only one-tenth as much time under alert. In more than three years of war, only a few drones and missiles have struck the remote, mountainous region of Transcarpathia. It is the only Ukrainian region without a nighttime curfew, making it a rare pocket of relative calm. 20 MileS Kyiv POLAND UKRAINE Pokrovsk Mariupol Detail area CRIMEA UKRAINE SLOVAKIA Uzhhorod Mukachevo TRANSCARPATHIA HUNGARY ROMANIA By The New York Times Want all of The Times?
