Married softball coach, 28, 'repeatedly took high school student home for sex'

A high school teacher and softball coach has been arrested after allegedly having a sexual relationship with a male student in her home.

Jullian Clementi Cooper, 28, was arrested Wednesday after accusations arose of an on-going relationship with a junior at Wood-Ridge High School in New Jersey last year.



The school's former girls coach as well as social studies teacher at Immaculate Heart Academy in Washington Township, has been suspended from her positions since the allegations broke.

'She's out of the classroom and she's not part of the faculty now,' said Jim Goodness, a spokesman for the Archdiocese of Newark which runs the Washington Township school told NJ.com.

'We view these as very serious accusations.'

It was in Clementi's apartment in Lyndhurst where the student, who since the alleged relationship has graduated from the high school, met her for sex.



She currently lives in Rutherford with her husband whom she married last September, according to the Cliff View Pilot .

According to Bergen County Proscutor John L Molinelli, the teen's high school was tipped off about the alleged affair, leading to an investigation that found Clementi 'engaged in sexual activities with the victim during his junior year in high school,' Mr Molinelli told the Cliff View Pilot.



Clementi was charged with second-degree sexual assault and second-degree endangering the welfare of a child.
