Michael Wagner of Hopatcong will be going to state prison for at least 10 years after admitting to first and second degree child abuse charges this week. As a teacher at Pope John High School in Sparta the 41 year old admitted that he took up skirt photos of 8th grade girls and possessed child porn. The first degree charge of child endangerment carries a mandatory minimum sentence of 10 years. The second degree child porn charge comes with a five year minimum. Which the judge could allow Wagner to serve concurrently with the 10 year sentence. He will face Megan's Law consequences and has surrendered his teaching license. Wagner will be sentenced in Newton on July 26th.
