Justin Kaffenberger, who was the assistant football coach of the Monroe-Woodbury junior varsity football team, is now no longer serving in that position and not allowed near campus.
State Police arrested Kaffenberger, a Monroe resident, on Wednesday, Sept. 19 and charged him with disseminating indecent material to minors in the first degree (a Class D felony) and two counts of endangering the welfare of a child (a Class A misdemeanor). The two victims were under the age of 17, state police said.
Two orders of protection have now been issued against Kaffenberger.
Kaffenberger is being accused of sending naked pictures of himself to one of the victims, a 15-year-old girl, and asking her to perform sexual acts on him, the Orange County District Attorney’s Office said.

Kaffenger is due back in court Nov. 5.
Anyone with information regarding the situation is asked to contact the State Police Monroe Bureau of Criminal Investigation at (845) 782-8311.
