Alleged Perv Teacher Allegedly Canoodled With Students Before

Scott Rubinetti (Bergan County Prosecutor's Office).

People say the most incriminating things on the internets! In the wake of the arrest of New Jersey high school football coach (and Adam Sandler lookalike) Scott Rubinetti, those who allegedly knew him have taken to Facebook to speak their piece—and some of them have some interesting (if totally uncorroborated) things to say. Like the one who says "he was always enjoying some nose candy with select female students and then would sleep with them." Could that explain why at least five Lyndhurst High Schoolers wore "Free Rubinetti" shirts to school yesterday?

Most interesting is the alleged former student at Northern Valley Regional High School-Demarest who says that the coach "cleaned up at nv demarest, this is amazing. they shoudl have called him teflon rubinetti, seeem like EVERYONE except the cops knew this was going on." Rubinetti taught at Demarest for eight years, but resigned from that position before returning to his alma mater.

Whatever the internet says, the Bergen County Prosecutor’s Office reports that "there is no additional information for release" on the investigation. Still, here are some more comments from Facebook if you are interested:

Facebook Reacts to Sex Offender News

Meanwhile, to try and calm gossiping students, Lyndhurst reportedly held an assembly yesterday, though we doubt it did too much. The married 39-year-old Rubinetti has been accused of sexual assault, endangering the welfare of a child, and witness tampering (he allegedly told his underage paramour to lie to the police if questioned about their "inappropriate sexual conduct with each other," according to county Prosecutor John Molinelli). He is currently out on $150,000 bail he posted through a bondsman.

Not surprised he got away with it for as long as he did. Almost all teachers hired in North Jersey are hired through nepotism or crony politics.

In a truly free society, this guy, would be looked upon, as someone who liked to have fun, and that's it.

A lot of people like cocaine. It's actually fun (so I've been told). So long as the women were post-pubescent, then, I don't see a problem either. He was a cool teacher who liked to have fun. No wonder so many girls wanted to sleep with him.

They should change the name of the police, to the morality police, because, in this instance, that's all he really is in trouble for. He cheated on his wife, but, that should be a private matter between him and her.
