Former Bucks Teacher Guilty of Sexting Teen

A former William Tennent High School mathematics teacher was sentenced in Bucks County Court yesterday to three years probation and was ordered by the court to undergo treatment after he sent sexual messages to a 17-year-old boy he met at B&R Health Club in Feasterville.

Scott Bregman, 48, of Sunrise Court in Feasterville was charged and plead guilty to disseminating explicit sexual material to a minor and corruption of minors.

Lawyers for Bregman state that the teen and two of his friend prompted Bregman to make explicit remarks by asking him explicit questions.

District Attorney’s for Bucks County disagree saying that Bregman was the adult and should have known better.

Bregman a former teacher, camp counselor and high school baseball referee told the Doylestown court after he was sentenced that he was sorry for his actions.

The 17-year-old did not attend Tennent and therefore never was taught by Bregman.

Bregman who met the boy at B&R exchanged phone numbers with the boy after confronting him nude and engaging in a sexual conversation in the health clubs sauna room.Bregman also offered to help the boy with his school work.

The victim told Bregman he was a junior in high school.

On the night of April 1 of this year Bregman sent the boy a “digital picture of himself in a reclined position with his exposed penis roughly in the lower center of picture” according to court documents.

After the photo the boy contacted police from Northampton who spoke to Bregman who admitted to sending the photo of his penis.

When the charges were announced in June school was out for summer.

The court announced that Bregman is banned from being alone with anyone under the age of 18 except family.

The charges were not Megan’s Law offenses so Bregman does not have to register as a sex offender.

Bregman is now employed in the automotive industry.

The 17-year-old victim was not in court because he wanted to put the event behind him.
