Germantown teacher pleads not guilty to assault charges Associated Press July 25, 2005 WEST BEND, Wis. - A Germantown high school teacher pleaded not guilty Monday to allegations that he sexually assaulted two students. A trial for James E. Catalano was set for early November in Washington County Circuit Court. Catalano, 33, allegedly sexually assaulted two 16-year-old female students last fall in a school office, once while a class was under way in a room next door, according to an April criminal complaint. Catalano pleaded not guilty to two felony counts of sexual assault of a student by a school staff member, and one felony count of child enticement. If convicted, Catalano could be imprisoned for 37 years and fined $120,000. Catalano is on unpaid administrative leave because a court order prohibits him from contact with students or staff at the school. The Germantown School Board recently rejected a request by the teacher's union to reinstate Catalano's teaching salary of $41,701. Catalano taught physical science and was an assistant football and track coach. http://www.duluthsuperior.com/mld/duluthsuperior/news/politics/12218976.htm Back To Guvment Skool Page 7 COPYRIGHT "DUHMAG.COM" 2005
