COURT HOUSE — A Millville Memorial High School mathematics teacher was arrested and charged with multiple counts of multiple counts of aggravated sexual assault and endangering the welfare of a child.
According to Cape May County Prosecutor Robert Taylor, Michael S. Drebes, 37, of Chew Road, Waterford, was recently arrested as a result of the cooperative investigation that was initiated by detectives from the Cumberland County Prosecutor’s office and Millville Police Department.
According to a release, during the course of that investigation, detectives confirmed that Drebes, a math teacher at Memorial High School, Millville, had allegedly had sexual intercourse with two juvenile females in a hotel room in Cape May during the Memorial Day Weekend.
Drebes traveled with the two juveniles from Cumberland County to Cape May, according to Taylor.
One victim was reportedly 14 years old and the other 16 years old, according to another source.
That investigation also revealed that Drebes also had an on-going sexual relationship with one of the juvenile females that spanned over four months. One of those victims was a current student of Drebes, and the other victim was a former student.
Drebes was charged in Cape May County with two counts each of aggravated sexual assault, a crime of the first degree, and endangering the welfare of a child, a crime of the second degree.
Persons convicted of a crime of the first degree may be punished by 10 to 20 years in state prison, and persons convicted of a crime of the second degree may be punished by five to 10 years in state prison.
Taylor lauded the detectives from his office and those of Cumberland County Prosecutor Ron Casella’s office as well as Millville Police Department for their cooperative efforts, which resulted in the resolution of the case.
