NJ Pre-K Aide Sexually Abused Children In Bathroom, During Nap Time, Records Say

SOMERS POINT, NJ — A pre-k teacher's aide filmed himself sexually assaulting students as young as three in the bathroom and during nap time at school, according to court documents.

Shaun Stebbins, 44, was initially charged by the Atlantic County Prosecutor's Office this past April after an investigation found that the Somers Point man had sexually abused children over 11 years, Patch previously reported.

The four children, three of whom are now adults, are Stebbins' brother-in-law's children and unrelated to his job at Woodbine Elementary School, where he worked from February of 2022 through March 29, 2026, when he was arrested. However, authorities expressed concern that there would be more victims because of Stebbins' job.

Stebbins photographed and filmed the children using the bathroom, according to the affidavit of probable cause obtained by Patch. He also sexually assaulted the children in the bathroom and during naptime, the documents said.

The images and videos were found through a search of Stebbins' cellphone and computer, according to the documents.

The Cape May County Prosecutor's Office said that Stebbins was charged with 29 counts of manufacturing child pornography, five counts of aggravated sexual assault, 13 counts of sexual assault by sexual contact and 14 counts of endangering the welfare of a child.

He remains in the Atlantic County Justice Facility pending court proceedings.
