East Windsor rabbi takes plea deal in sex assault case and avoids jail (Updated) | News | centraljersey.com

Chinn, a 40-year-old married father of six children, admitted he had sexually exploited two young boys — who were students of his at separate times in 2005 and 2012 — when they were under the age of 13. One of the incidents, Chinn admitted, took place in the school where he had taught, the Shalom Torah Academy. The victim in that case, now a young man, was sitting in the courtroom of Mercer County Superior Court Judge Peter E. Warshaw, in Trenton, to watch Chinn finally admit his criminal actions.

“It was very hard, but at the same time, he’s getting what he deserved,” the man said of watching Chinn in court.

In return for pleading guilty to two counts of second-degree endangering the welfare of a child, Chinn will avoid going to prison, getting two suspended five-year-terms to run concurrently, but he will have to register as a Megan’s Law sex offender and be parole supervised for life.  His sentencing is scheduled for Oct. 13.
