South Jersey pre-k aide appears in court on multiple child sex assault charges

SOMERS POINT, N.J. (WPVI) -- A pre-kindergarten teacher's aide in South Jersey appeared virtually in court Monday over accusations of sexually assaulting multiple children.

The judge read through all 16 charges Shaun Stebbins faces, and initiated sex offense restraining orders requested by the alleged victims.

Stebbins was arrested on March 29 and charged with sexual assault of a child, photographing a child in a sex act and more.

A pre-kindergarten teacher's aide in South Jersey is accused of sexually assaulting multiple children over a 10-year span, according to prosecutors.

Authorities say one of the now-adult victims came forward, which led to the discovery of three more victims - all siblings.

Stebbins worked as a pre-kindergarten teacher's aide at Woodbine Elementary, and investigators are concerned there may be more victims.

Stebbins will remain behind bars until the next hearing scheduled for May 15.
