Judge found guilty of trespassing at her kids' school
A mother was found guilty of trespassing by a judge in Middlesex County after she refused to leave the premises of the Catholic school her children attended.
Theresa Mullen, who also serves as the presiding family court judge in Union County, was charged on Feb. 2, 2017, after she "flatly refused" to leave St. Theresa's School in Kenilworth, despite being told by school officials and police she had to go, according to a written opinion by Middlesex County Superior Court Judge Alberto Rivas.
Mullen had sued the school and the Archdiocese of Newark after her daughter was prohibited from playing on the boys' basketball team when there was no girls' team. She claims the school was retaliating against her family for filing the lawsuit.
Mullen was advised in a letter on Feb. 1, 2017, not to bring her two girls to school because the St. Theresa's school handbook states that any parent involved with ongoing civil litigation with the school "will be requested to remove their children from the school."
