ACCUSED CHS TEACHER SEEKING DISMISSAL, SEPARATE TRIALS

Nicole Dufault

From NJ.com:

After being indicted in February on 40 counts of aggravated sexual assault and endangering the welfare of a child, Nicole Dufault has filed a motion to dismiss the child endangerment charges, according to her attorney, Timothy Smith.

Dufault also is pursuing a motion to sever the charges in order for her to face separate trials in connection with each of the alleged victims, Smith said.

"We have a legal obligation to make the motions if there's a legitimate legal issue there and we do think that there's a legitimate legal issue there," Smith said on Monday after a brief hearing about the case. Smith declined further comment on the motions.
