A former Jersey Shore vice principal and athletic director read her superior’s email without permission and it could land her in prison for a decade, said prosecutors.
Ex-Ocean City High School vice principal and athletic director Christine Lentz, 53, faces official misconduct and computer criminal activity charges in Cape May County court, said the county prosecutor's office.
A month-long investigation by the county prosecutor’s tech unit showed that Lentz, while still employed at the school, read Superintendent Kathleen Taylor’s emails from April 1 to June 1 without clearance to do so.
After 30 years in the district and seven years as athletic director, Lentz retired at the end of last school year, reported The Press of Atlantic City.
The Woodbine, New Jersey resident turned herself in Tuesday and was released on a summons until her next court appearance, said prosecutors.
If convicted on both counts, Lentz faces up to 15 years in prison, said prosecutors.
