A father and son, both teachers at a K-8 school in Rochelle Park, N.J., are facing charges for second-degree possession of child pornography.
Jeffrey Grossman, 65, and his son Steven Grossman, 24, are employed at Midland School No. 1. They allegedly viewed, downloaded and possessed images of nude and/or sexually explicit children, PIX11 reported.
Both men live near the school in Tenafly and viewed or downloaded over 1,000 digital files of the explicit material, according to authorities.
“It is a very difficult time for our family,” Jeffrey Grossman’s wife said in a Thursday statement. “Please understand we are trying to manage as best we can. I am happy to say I love my husband, I love my son, and we are going to support one another.”
The men have been released from custody and will be allowed to stay in their home until their trial, despite their release being against the wishes of the Bergen County Prosecutor’s Office.
