Sorry let me elaborate on his already bad reputation. In many towns in New Jersey marching band is important. There are competitions. It looks great for the school during football games because it is well rounded. So many schools hire extra coordinators to help out during marching band season. They teach drill, color guard, and actual playing. Usually to get one of these jobs it helps to know the high school band director(which he did in that school). Of course schools want musicians who have drum corp experience to teach. Note that they are hired back by the districts they came from so actual musical ability isn't in the equation.

So this guy gets hired by his old district to work with a bunch of high schoolers. Unfortunately he reverts to old habits at his old haunts. Thinks that these girls are his age still and well this is what happens.

No he isn't a teacher, but the district is paying him as an instructor and should be charged as one.

oh Also fun fact: Legally a 15 year old in NJ cannot consent to have sex with anyone. Age of consent is 16.

LOL what reputation? I knew the guy. Terrible musician.

anybody can make an accusation. if this man is innocent, his reputation will never recover. can we please not add to the web trail?

A choreographer who has worked with the North Bergen High School marching band has been arrested on charges he had sex with a 15-year-old girl who is a student at the school, authorities said today.

Paulino Jimenez, 24, of Jersey City, was arrested Friday at the Hudson County Prosecutor's Office's Special Victims Unit, Hudson County First Assistant Prosecutor Debra Simon said.

Jimenez, who authorities say worked as a choreographer for the band since 2009, is charged with aggravated sexual assault, endangering the welfare of a child and child abuse, Simon said.

"The alleged criminal incident did not occur on school property or anywhere having to do with the school," Simon said.

The most serious charges Jimenez faces -- aggravated sexual assault -- carries a possible sentence of 10 to 20 years in prison if he is convicted.

Jimenez's attorney, Adrienne Edward, could not be reached for comment.

In a statement, North Bergen school district superintendent Robert Dandorph said that "at one time (Jimenez) worked with the school?s marching band director as a choreography consultant."

Dandorph added that "Jimenez is not a teacher or an employee of the district and was not classified as a person working with students but is a private consultant who worked with the band director on an as-needed basis during the marching band season between August and November."

Dandorph said that the parents of the 15-year-old girl met with Principal Paschal Tennaro and "informed him that his daughter had been engaging in a consensual sexual relationship" with Jimenez.

The principal then contacted North Bergen police and the Hudson County Prosecutor?s Office, Dandorph said.

"The North Bergen school district places the safety of its students as its absolute highest priority and we are shocked and saddened by this disturbing event," Dandorph said.
