Lodi, NJ - Yeshiva Security Guard Facing Aggravated Assault Charge

Lodi, NJ - A high school security guard has been charged with aggravated assault on a 13-year-old girl, assaulting her several times over the last year. The girl was not a student at the school, they said.

Homer Bishop, 33, a security guard at Frisch Yeshiva High School in Paramus, was jailed on a first-degree charge of aggravated assault and second-degree on endangering the welfare of a minor.
Bishop is being held on $300,000 bail at the Bergen County Jail.
Bishop had limited contact with pupils at the private Jewish high school. "He wasn't a teacher or someone who worked with kids every day," the prosecutor said. "He wasn't someone who was in a closed classroom with pupils."
Police charged Bishop, of East 30th Street in Paterson, after the teen told her mother about the yearlong contact. Bishop, who is separated from his wife, has been a security guard at the school for the past three years.
