HACKENSACK, N.J. (AP) — A New Jersey police officer and a New York City high school teacher are among 16 men who allegedly tried to set up sexual encounters with people they thought were teenage boys and girls. New Jersey Attorney General Gurbir announced the arrests Wednesday. He said most of the defendants were arrested when they arrived at a residence in Bergen County, where they expected to find their victim home alone. Seven defendants travelled there from New York State, while another came from Philadelphia.
