Teacher Arrested for Sex Assault

A south New Jersey teacher has been arrested on charges of sexually assaulting a teenager.

Dale Rungy, a 54-year-old teacher, was arrested Friday afternoon and charged with sexually assaulting a minor. He posted $5,000 cash bail Friday evening.

Police said he was a science teacher at King's Christian School in Cherry Hill. A 19-year-old woman who is a former student of Rungy's made the accusation.

Police contacted Rungy, who met with authorities Friday morning. After speaking with Rungy, police charged him with two counts of aggravated sexual assault and one charge of endangering a minor.

Police believe the incident took place four years ago when the woman was 15.

Rungy will be arraigned on March 11.
