The Hillsborough man will also stand trial on child endangerment charges
A Hillsborough man was indicted Friday by a Grand Jury in Freehold on charges he sexually assaulted two 12 year-old girls in Middletown. James Cascia, 19, is accused by the Monmouth County Prosecutor's Office of "sexual assault, by committing an act of sexual contact." The alleged offense of one girl is said to have occurred between August 1 and October 18, 2012; the second one between Sept. 1 and Oct. 18. Sexual contact with a person under the age of 13 is automatically upgraded to the charge to sexual assault. Cascia will also face two counts of child endangerment. The Grand Jury's decision is not a conviction, but merely a formal charge. A defendant is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

A Summit-based foundation is working to educate kids — and their parents — about skin protection and care.
The story of Nutley mom Patricia Krentcil, 44, taking her 5-year-old daughter into a tanning booth has grabbed the public's attention. For the record: Back in April, Krentcil's daughter told her school nurse she got a sunburn from tanning with her mother, prompting the school to call child services. Police have since charged Krentcil with child endangerment. The story has prompted a lot of discussion — mostly because of Krentcil's extraordinary appearance. The Star-Ledger wrote that Krentcil's "deep tan makes the Jersey Shore crew look ghostly." Her own attorney has called her "obsessed with tanning." But one local expert reminds us to take this recent scandal seriously. "I suppose it’s great fun to mock Ms. Krentcil, but make no mistake, …
